Notes: A
nice meeting of the minds on this one. The tight rhythm section
propelled along by Ray Brown's bass compliments the soloists perfectly.
As a bit of a surprise the sax men trade instruments so that on
side one you get Stan on baritone and Gerry on tenor. Side two
has the instruments back to their usual owners and the music continues
to please. Each solo is built upon the backing groove and while
it calls for you're attention it never overwhelms or detracts from
the melody. The front cover photo in its two-tone shading is of
a couple of guys at work. Nothing more, nothing less. And damn
how they love their work…
