Editor: Peter Pullman. Photographer: Herman Leonard. Unknown Contributor Role: Ella Fitzgerald. This album is a compilation documenting Webster's output for Verve Records in the 1950s. It features many of his own compositions such as "Love's Away," "Soulville," and "De Dar." Also, we hear Webster play superb versions of some of his very favorite tunes such as "Chelsea Bridge," "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To," and most of all, Duke Ellington's classic "In a Mellow Tone." Webster is joined by many of the greatest swing/mainstream jazz musicians of all time on this disc. Readings of "Old Folks" with Benny Carter sitting in on alto sax and "You're Mine, You!" with Teddy Wilson tickling the ol' ivories are but two examples of the caliber of musicianship you'll find on this release. As always, Webster's finest moments are the ballads. Renditions of "Come Rain or Come Shine" and "Do Nothing Till You Hear from Me," for example, document Webster still in his prime.
