200 gram vinyl LP pressing. A classic album from two giants, Gerry Mulligan's sessions with Ben Webster certainly belong in every well-stocked LP collection. From the first to last note of this velvety 1959 collaboration, you'll hear what made jazz what it is: communication and interaction. Mulligan and Webster devoted the sessions to six relaxed numbers performed in an atmosphere of mutual respect where neither attempted to blast away the other. Soulful and melodic, the selections all come from the Duke Ellington songbook or the pen of Mulligan himself while a swinging West Coast Jazz rhythm section provides supple backing throughout. Now, hear Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster in all it's sonic glory, courtesy of Analogue Productions who reissues the title on 200g vinyl mastered from the original analog tapes by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound and plated and pressed by Gary Salstrom and his crew at Quality Record Pressings. Chelsea Bridge, The Cat Walk, Sunday, Who's Got Rhythm, Tell Me When, Go Home, In a Mellow Tone, What Is This Thing Called Love, For Bessie, Fajista, Blues in B Flat
