• The idea of this 1957 album was one often found in jazz : the ‘competitive’ pairing of outstanding soloists on the same horn, in this case the chosen musicians were brassmen Cootie Williams and Rex Stewart, who had been partners in the bands of Fletcher Henderson and Duke Ellington.

• Although co-leaders, they have paired alongside them here, some of the greatest swingers in the history of jazz, including tenor saxists Coleman Hawkins (a particular idol of Cootie’s) and Bud Freeman, and trombonists Lawrence Brown and J C Higginbotham. The rhythm section includes Hank Jones, Billy Bauer, Milton Hinton &Gus Johnson.

• Cootie’s plea to “don’t just put us in the studio and tell everybody to blow, please,” was met by assigning the arranging chores to Ernie Wilkins and Joe Thomas. The results were brilliant, simultaneously redolent of an era of mainstream jazz, yet also sounding as freshly minted as the day they were made. The album was supervised by jazz writer and producer George T. Simon.

• Digipack edition - 8 tracks (including one alternate take) - newly remastered in 24 bit sound - original stereophonic recordings for the first time on CD.
