"The Frank Sinatra of the tenor saxophone"

"In some ways, Ben Webster is the Frank Sinatra of the tenor saxophone," Stephen Frostberg wrote in his original liner notes to the 1959 album, "BEN WEBSTER MEETS OSCAR PETERSON." After listening to the album the past couple days, I completely agree with Frostberg's assessment.
Webster's playing on songs such as "How Deep is the Ocean" and "In the Wee, Small Hours of the Morning" is rapturous.
More Frostberg:
"Both (Webster and Sinatra) have that way of making any line of any song sound like the most tender, sincere expression of love."
Here is one album certain to lift spirits.
