Album Notes & Community Reviews
Facilitating a wildly entertaining, highly unexpected collaboration, this studio date pairs the manic, high-energy pioneer of the vibraphone with the preeminent, airy master of the cool jazz tenor saxophone. Despite their vastly different temperaments and stylistic origins, the two giants find brilliant, highly communicative common ground over an aggressively swinging rhythm section. The joyous, extended blowing session is a highly successful, immensely dynamic study in musical contrast.
