personnel :

Richie Cole - alto saxophone, vocals (#2)
Phil Woods - alto saxophone
Walter Booker - bass
Jimmy Cobb - drums
John Hicks - piano
Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis - tenor saxophone (#1)

This set features a very logical matchup. Richie Cole's main influence has long been Phil Woods, so these concert performances pitting the two altoists together have plenty of fire and extroverted improvisations. With pianist John Hicks, bassist Walter Booker and drummer Jimmy Cobb backing the soloists, Woods and Cole really push each other on "Scrapple from the Apple," "Donna Lee" and "Side by Side." Tenor-great Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis sits in on "Save Your Love for Me," the younger altoist has "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" to himself and Cole and Woods have fun on a brief free-form "Naugahyde Reality." It's a generally high-powered and enjoyable set.~Scott Yanow
