The record

Prestige puts two contrasting saxophone voices in one room here, Adams' weight against Zoot Sims' lighter tenor over Flanagan, Carter, and Elvin Jones. December sessions that favor long, easy choruses over flash, the rhythm section never forcing the pace.

Session personnel

  • Pepper Adams — baritone saxophone
  • Ron Carter — bass
  • Elvin Jones — drums
  • Tommy Flanagan — piano
  • Zoot Sims — tenor saxophone
