Tenor saxophonist Ben Webster (1909 - 1973) had already enjoyed a long and fruitful career by the time this 1957 session was recorded. However, as Bob Blumenthal explains in the original liner notes, he still wasn't known for the sensual ballad feeling that became his trademark during the last two decades of his life.
