One of the classic big name virtuoso jazz battles, so popular in the 40's & 50's - this teamed trumpet giants Dizzy Gillespie against Roy Eldridge and was recorded at the Radio Recorders studios in Los Angeles in October 1954 - and featured an all-star backing band : Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown and Louie Bellson. The leaders power their way through a fine selection of jazz standards plus 2 Dizzy originals and one by Eldridge.
