i'm not wild about this LP — it's ok, but maybe i should make space on my shelf and spin something new (i mean old) in its place

i paid six bucks for it a few years ago ... i'll bet i could still get a couple bucks for it!

it bears mentioning that paul chambers went to my high school

tommy flanagan is also from detroit, but he didn't go to cass tech, he graduated from northern (as did my father before him)

Carter, Gillespie Inc.

Seems unlikely they incorporated for this release. :-)

Part of the very enjoyable Pablo re-release series from Analogue Productions, this has two greats from different eras—Benny Carter (alto) and Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet)—playing with Tommy Flanagan (piano), Joe Pass (guitar), Al McKibbon (bass), and Micky Roker (drums).

A mix of styles and tempos from this sextet, and a nice listen.
