The record
A West Coast summit session pairing Harris's brawny, vocalized trombone with Ben Webster's breathy tenor, backed by the sympathetic rhythm team of Rowles, Mitchell and Levey. Relaxed, blues-soaked swing from two horn stylists who came up through the big-band ranks and knew exactly how to talk to each other.
