"So großartig die Solos der beiden Kens auf dem Album sind, ist es doch das Zusammenspiel der Beiden, das diese Session über die Norm hinweghebt. Die Musik, die sie spielen, besteht aus einer Mischung aus Gefühl, Rhythmus und Spontanität." John Chilton

Info

"The warmth and guile that the two Kens show underline the fact that they both possess that elusive quality that jazz musicians call time the ability to impart a swinging impetus to every phrase they play. Great though the solos are on these recordings / it is the interplay between the two K´s that elevates the session to heights way above the norm. The surging chases they create are filled with a spirit and invention that is guaranteed to restore the faith of anyone who feels that swinging jazz is losing ground. The music that this group plays has a blend of feeling, rhythm and spontaneity that will never date." John Chilton, British trumpeter who divides his time between leading his own touring band, The Feetwarmers, and writing about jazz. His books include The Who´s Who of Jazz, and biographies of Louis Armstrong, Henry Allen, Sidney Bechet, Bob Crosby, Coleman Hawkins, Billie Holiday and Louis Jordan.
