Average Rating: 
Rating: - Big Ben
Intimate, moving, and oh so sexy..
This album is really a pleasure for the senses. As for the less than 40min of album material... Well I can't complain. And for this price..
This album has an average review of 5 stars. That just about sums it up.
Rating: - It's Not A Showdown Between Ben And Oscar, But . . .
. . . a showcase of their exceptional talents in tenor sax and piano, respectively, that would truly bring out the very best in each other's playing. And the end result is an absolutely inspiring and exquisite album of ballads such as this one, "Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson."

Rating: - Desert island listening
This is one of those albums that would end up on a short list of required listening while stranded on a desert island! Few can match Ben Webster on tenor sax or Oscar Peterson on piano. Webster's caressing and fragrant tone slowly wraps the listener in a gentle fog. Peterson counters by weaving cords like a Renaissance master of tapestry. If you love this collaboration, also listen to "Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster" (1957) and "The Tatum Group Masterpieces, Vol. 8" (1956).

Rating: - Jazz at it's finest... simply a perfect recording!

Really folks, it doesn't get any better than this. A soft, seductive, and serene collection of ballads that will keep your feet tapping and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. I had this one on really loud one hot summer day and at least four of my neighbors came by inquiring about what I was playing. They all made a point to tell me later that ... Read More
