Teaming together
Dizzy Gillespie and Roy Eldridge should result in some classic music, but by 1975
Eldridge (although still a fierce competitor) was past his prime and
Gillespie was starting to fade. The material performed for this LP is just not inspiring, a few overly played standards and blues. Despite some good efforts by Gillespie and
Eldridge, pianist
Oscar Peterson easily emerges as the most impressive soloist; better to acquire the magnificent Gillespie-Eldridge collaborations of the 1950s instead. ~ Scott Yanow
