Personnel: Harry "Sweets" Edison (trumpet); Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis (tenor saxophone); Count Basie, Dolo Coker (piano); Jimmie Smith (drums). Recording information: RCA Studios, Los Angeles, CA (05/05/1976). Unknown Contributor Role: Jimmie Smith . Although trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison and tenor saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis recorded several albums together in the 1970s, this CD reissue was their only Pablo date as a team. Edison is the nominal leader and he contributed four of the eight selections (which alternate with four veteran standards), but the competitive Lockjaw gets in his fiery licks too. While bassist John Heard and drummer Jimmie Smith are part of the quintet and pianist Dolo Coker is on half of the program, Count Basie himself drops by for four songs to cheer on his former sidemen. All of the musicians sound quite inspired and are heard throughout playing at their best and most colorful. ~ Scott Yanow
