It's possible that the twin towers of the tenor saxophone, Al Cohn and Zoot Sims, still do not get enough credit for leading the only real longstanding working band to feature the big horns. This reissue of a 1973 single album for the Muse label was reissued on 32 Jazz, and now for the third time around courtesy of Pony Canyon. The great bop jam "Doodle Oodle" and ultimately soulful "Blue Hodge" bookend a sweet Brazilian medley, ballad standards, and lesser-known bluesy vehicles for the two master tenors. The rhythm section members -- pianist Jaki Byard, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Mel Lewis -- are super-skilled beyond reproach. It's not their best or most essential work, but a very good example of how their teamwork continued into their later years. ~ Michael G. Nastos
