This set lives up to its title by including such interesting sessions as the 1953 date on which
Miles Davis welcomed the two tenors of
Sonny Rollins and
Charlie Parker; other meetings with
Rollins in 1951 and 1956; and a moody 1955 date with bassist
Charles Mingus, trombone, vibes, and drums (a young
Elvin Jones). Highlights include "No Line," "Vierd Blues," "In Your Own Sweet Way," "Nature Boy," and "There's No You." It's classic if often overlooked music from a variety of immortal jazzmen.
