Review

JazzTimes (3/96, p.105) - "...Webster...had achieved an essence of ballad playing. He ravished melodies with a combination of passion, power and tenderness that no tenor player, including John coltrane, Stan Getz and Zoot Sims, has equaled....these recordings of Webster...represent an ideal matching of musician and material..."
Musician (11/95, p.93) - "...contains...Webster's long unavailable sessions with strings, as well as a strings album by...Harry Carney. Most of the arrangements are by Ralph Burns and Billy Strayhorn....some of the finest horn-backed-by-strings sessions ever recorded, featuring a felicitous pairing of melodically gifted soloists and arrangers..."

Originally released as three separate LPs. Includes liner notes by Loren Schoenberg.

Following in the footsteps of his idol Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster's corpus of work has stood up to the test of time. His lyrical sound has made him one of the great tenor saxophone masters in jazz history. On MUSIC FOR LOVING, Webster plays mostly ballads, the style in which Webster feels most comfortable and sounds best. His smoky, romantic sound is perfect for tunes such as "Prelude to a Kiss" and "(I Don't Stand) a Ghost of a Chance (With You)."

MUSIC FOR LOVING (recorded in 1954-1955) is a two-CD set featuring accompaniment by a lush string section with arrangements by Ralph Burns. Five previously unissued alternate takes, five quartet numbers (four with the Teddy Wilson Trio), and eight tracks showcasing baritone Harry Carney are also included.
