Fantastic musician. And a living legend!

Mr. Wess beautifully braids his sound with the informed poignancy of the music ... Ronny Whyte, Bob Stewart and Tony Bennet serve up wonderful vocal versions -- each one, perhaps, a valid anthem to a failed romance. Mr. Wess, here, is profund.

@c4rv3r Yeah, I see what you mean about Webster, but to me his sound is closer to Coleman Hawkins' on ballads; both Hawk and Big Ben had a similar breathy tone quality with a lot of subtoning; but Webster put a little extra sweetness on top which I think went over the top in some cases in terms of sentiment. To me, Hawk's approach was more effective--masculine yet still vulnerable (and without getting too sentimental).

I'm delighted to learn this. Thank-you very much.

Eddie Daniels has a wonderful rendition of this, too. Hard to find, but worth it.
