1	Music for Loving (1995) more music like this by Ben Webster with Strings Combining two string albums by Ben Webster and one from Ellington sideman Harry Carney, the two-disc Music With Feeling delivers over two hours' worth of incredible ballad interpretations. Webster, of course, made his name with many an after-hours gem, and he predictably shines here amidst the lush yet tasteful orchestral charts penned by Ralph ... see all copies from $17.99! new only from $20.94!
2	This American Life: Stories of Hope and Fear (2006) more music like this by Various Artists This two-CD set presents 11 stories originally heard on the popular syndicated public radio show This American Life . If you're familiar with the program, you'll know what to expect here to some degree: diverse, often eccentric, often real-life tales, laid over whimsical pieces of music and sound effects used for accentuation and contrast. Even ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $17.76!
3	King of the Tenors (1953) more music like this by Ben Webster This 1953 date matched Webster with such peers as alto saxophonist Benny Carter, trumpeter Harry Edison, and pianist Oscar Peterson for a series of elegant yet soulful and exuberant small group dates. With no cut longer than four and a half minutes, the players didn't have time for excess statements or overkill; they had to quickly get to the ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
4	See You at the Fair (1964) more music like this by Ben Webster Ben Webster's final American recording was one of his greatest. At 55, the tenor saxophonist was still very much in his prime but considered out of style in the U.S. He would soon permanently move to Europe where he was better appreciated. This CD has the nine selections originally included on the LP of the same name, a quartet set with either ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
5	Ben Webster for Lovers (2005) more music like this by Ben Webster Issued in time for Valentine's Day 2005, Ben Webster for Lovers collects 11 of the tenor giant's best ballads from his Verve period. Readings of "My Funny Valentine," "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Where Are You," "Love Is Here to Stay," and "Time On My Hands" are the standouts, but nothing here is superfluous. The only track that should have been ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
6	Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson (1959) more music like this by Ben Webster With Oscar Peterson Another fine Webster release on Verve that sees the tenor great once again backed by the deluxe Oscar Peterson Trio. In keeping with the high standard of their Soulville collaboration of two years prior, Webster and the trio -- Peterson is joined by bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen -- use this 1959 date to conduct a clinic in ballad ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
7	Jazz 'Round Midnight: Ben Webster (1993) more music like this by Ben Webster see all copies from $4.90! new only from $10.29!
8	Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster (1957) more music like this by Coleman Hawkins w/ Ben Webster W/ Ben Webster. These aren't encounters in the confrontational sense, but a merger of great musical minds. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.78! new only from $13.78!
9	Havin' a Good Time (1964) more music like this by Joe Williams/Ben Webster This CD fills an important gap in the discographies of both Joe Williams and Ben Webster. While Williams was in town for a week-long gig at Pio's in Providence, Rhode Island, he and his group (pianist Junior Mance, bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Mickey Roker) were surprised to find Ben Webster in the club one night, so he was invited to sit in. ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
10	The Complete Johnny Mercer Songbook (1998) more music like this by Various Artists One of the giants of American popular song gets his due with this three-disc Verve box, comprising a trio of separately released compilations. Though Mercer's repertoire of classic songs doesn't quite make for three discs, Verve ably solves the problem by pairing a vocal track and an instrumental version on separate discs, such as "Too Marvelous ... see all copies from $32.61! new only from $32.61!
11 view cover	The Riverside Records Story (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The Riverside Records Story is essentially Orrin Keepnews' baby -- and why not, for the grizzled jazz producer/journalist co-founded the label, ran it from day one in 1952 until it suddenly went bankrupt in 1964, and produced almost all of the original sessions. Riverside's current custodians at Fantasy had Keepnews select and sequence four CDs' ... see all copies from $53.85! new only from $53.85!
12 view cover	Soulmates (1963) more music like this by Ben Webster & Joe Zawinul What initially seems like an unlikely pairing for this session delivers on its unique pedigree with performances that do full justice to tenor legend Ben Webster and to the then up and coming pianist Joe Zawinul. Recorded in 1963 while the pianist was a member of the Cannonball Adderley Sextet, the session came about as a result of Webster's and ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.35!
13 view cover	Hip Jazz Bop: Not Your Typical Self Made Man (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.95!
14 view cover	Stormy Weather (1965) more music like this by Ben Webster Recorded around a month after the veteran tenor Ben Webster moved to Europe, this high-quality set with pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Neils Pederson and drummer Alex Riel features Webster stretching out on the traditional "Londonderry Air," two originals and seven familiar but fresh standards. Webster, although neglected in the U.S., was still in ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $5.49!
15 view cover	Ben Webster and Associates (1959) more music like this by Ben Webster Ben Webster and Associates is a 1959 session that took full advantage of the long-playing LP format. Highlighted by the 20-minute version of Ellington's "In a Mellow Tone" in which tenor titans Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, and Budd Johnson plus trumpeter Roy Eldridge stretch out, not so much in a cutting contest as a laid-back jam session amongst ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
16 view cover	Ben and Sweets (1962) more music like this by Ben Webster with Harry Edison Tenor-saxophonist Ben Webster and trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, both veterans of the swing era (although associated with different orchestras), had long wanted to record a full album together. The results, a swinging quintet set with pianist Hank Jones, bassist George Duvivier and drummer Clarence Johnston, are quite rewarding. There are two ... see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
17 view cover	Late Night Sax [Rebound] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists When people hear the term "smooth jazz," they usually think of the music heard on NAC stations. But the idea of jazz functioning as smooth, soft, romantic mood music isn't something new -- back in the swing era, Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" (1939) and Artie Shaw's 1940 recording of "Stardust" (just to give two examples) showed the world how ... see all copies from $2.35! new only from $6.19!
18 view cover	A Night Out With Verve (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A Night Out With Verve highlights five decades of remarkable jazz taken from the Verve catalog, spread out over four discs titled "Wining," "Dining," "Dancing," and "Romancing." This budget-priced box set includes 65 performances from jazz luminaries including Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, Michel Legrand, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz, Louis Armstrong ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $24.31!
19 view cover	My Man (1973) more music like this by Ben Webster Just months before his death, the great tenor Ben Webster shows that even with an occasional shortness of breath, he never really declined musically. The six selections (five standards and his "Set Call") are all familiar (one wonders how many times Webster recorded "Sunday") but he still sounds enthusiastic and emotional. Joined by pianist Ole ... see all copies from $16.90! new only from $16.90!
20 view cover	Complete Rodgers & Hart Songbook (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The classic songs of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart are rendered on this outstanding three-disc set, which features vocalists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Shirley Horn, Tony Bennett and Cassandra Wilson. Among the spotlighted instrumentalists are Charlie Parker, Coleman Hawkins, Art Tatum, Stan Getz, Bill ... see all copies from $25.05! new only from $25.05!
21 view cover	Ben Webster's Finest Hour (2000) more music like this by Ben Webster Ben Webster's tone on tenor saxophone became one of the most recognizable in jazz; he possessed a tough sound on upbeat tunes while playing soft and light on ballads. As part of Verve's Finest Hour series, Ben Webster is heard on a combination of standards and originals along with some of the biggest names in jazz: Ella Fitzgerald, Coleman Hawkins ... see all copies from $14.37! new only from $14.37!

23 view cover	Bill Harris and Friends (1957) more music like this by Bill Harris With Ben Webster and Jimmy Rowles Trombonist Bill Harris led relatively few recording sessions throughout his career, and this is the definitive one. On the quintet set with the great tenor Ben Webster, pianist Jimmy Rowles, bassist Red Mitchell, and drummer Stan Levey, Harris' unique tone is showcased throughout "It Might As Well Be Spring"; he jams enthusiastically with Webster ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.44!

25 view cover	The Jazz Masters: 27 Classic Performances (1990) more music like this by Various Artists The Jazz Masters: 27 Classic Performances gathers a wide array of jazz talents, including Erroll Garner, Woody Herman, Billie Holiday, and Harry "Sweets" Edison.
