The record

A second helping of the pairing that needed no introduction, cut with Peterson's trio plus Ellis and Bellson easing behind two voices built for conversation. Looser and warmer than the first date, it finds Armstrong's rasp and Fitzgerald's clarity trading lines like old friends catching up.
