Release date 17-03-2010 (Originally released in 1959)

2010 EU reissue( 180g vinyl LP ) - 1959's Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson brings together two of the greatest stylists in American musical history. Here, in a program of timeless songs, pianist Oscar Peterson proves to be the perfect foil, his effortless swing an excellent set-up for the unhurried scoops, slurs and bent notes of tenor saxophone balladeer Ben Webster. Supporting musicians include Ray Brownon bass and Ed Thigpen on drums. On par with Webster's classic Soulville.

A1 The Touch Of Your Lips
A2 When Your Lover Has Gone
A3 Bye Bye Blackbird
A4 How Deep Is The Ocean

B1 In The Wee, Small Hours Of The Morning
B2 Sunday
B3 This Can't Be Love
B4 Ill Wind
