personnel :

Steve Lacy - soprano saxophone
Mal Waldron - piano

Pianist Mal Waldron and soprano-saxophonist Steve Lacy have collaborated on many occasions (on an irregular basis) starting in the 1980's. Both masterful musicians are expatriates whose styles developed after they made their initial impact in the 1950's. On this likable set, they perform eight songs composed by Duke Ellington and/or Billy Strayhorn. Although adventurous in spots, their intepretations of such pieces as "Johnny Come Lately," "Prelude To A Kiss" and "Smada" are quite respectful and keep the strong melodies in mind.
