The record
Two cool-toned tenors, Perkins and Montrose, trade lines over a rhythm section that bridges coasts -- Chambers and Philly Joe bringing East Coast swing to a West Coast date. Affinity's reissue catches a relaxed, riff-driven session steeped in the light-toned lineage of Konitz and the Basie books.
