Album Notes & Community Reviews
Operating as one of the most exciting, combative 'tough tenor' duos in jazz history, the two saxophonists engage in a series of blistering, high-speed musical duels. The contrasting styles鈥攐ne famously rapid and nimble, the other gruff, earthy, and aggressive鈥攃reate an electrifying tension that pushes the rhythm section to its absolute limits.
