Best player-Yes-In 1964 I played Jazz Gtr with Best Sax players in B'ham (England) who declared,-"Ben Websters the Man".In 1966, @ 1:0 in morn', listening to late night jazz, driving home..the presenter played this same version & tears came to my eyes. From then on I took a leaf from this lesson of "How to Play a Ballad". What a Gem, This &"My One & Only Love"+Art Tatum) are the very pinnacle-of how to play music that edifies the soul. Mr Cool-in TRUTH SINCERITY-LOVE &JOY.-Rest in Peace Ben.

The ultimate version of this played with real feeling. No-one came close to Ben Webster on ballads.
