Together Again!!!! [Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series]

Tenor saxophonist and trumpeter had played together regularly from 1945 to 1947. For their recorded reunion, they are assisted by the masterful pianist , bassist and drummer . , , and contributed one new song apiece which alternates with a trio of standards ("You Stepped Out of a Dream," "Misty" and 's "Perhaps"). The trumpeter was having a short-lived comeback at the time and he had largely regained his earlier form. sounds as strong as ever and was an up-and-coming talent. Their collaboration for this boppish date is generally quite memorable. ~ Scott Yanow
