The twin tenor sax tradition yielded grand pairings with the likes of Wardell Gray and Dexter Gordon, Arnett Cobb and Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis, Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt, and Al Cohn and Zoot Sims. This one-shot teaming of Charlie Rouse and Paul Quinichette brought forth a union of two distinctly different mannerisms within the mainstream jazz continuum. Rouse, who would go on to prolific work with Thelonious Monk and was at this time working with French horn icon Julius Watkins, developed a fluid signature sound that came out of the more strident and chatty style heard here. By this time in 1957, Quinichette, nicknamed the Vice Prez for his similar approach to Lester Young, was well established in the short term with Count Basie. His liquid, full-bodied, soulful tone became an undeniable force, albeit briefly, before he dropped out of the scene shortly after this date to be an electrical engineer. The stereo split of the saxophonists in opposite channels, a technique endemic of the time, works well whether they play solos or melody lines together. It enables you to truly hear how different they are. Working with standards, there's a tendency for them to play the head arrangements in unison, but then one of them on occasion plays an off-the-cuff short phrase that strays from the established melodic path. They also seem to do a hard bop jam, then a ballad, and back to hard swinging. The title track is simply a killer, a perfect fun romp of battling duelists, and one that you'd like to hear in any nightclub setting. Some slight harmonic inserts set "This Can't Be Love" apart from the original and "The Things I Love" displays the two tenors at their conversational best, while the lone original, "Knittin'", is a fundamental 12-bar swing blues, straight up and simple but with some subtle harmonic nuances. The rhythm section of pianist Wynton Kelly, bass player Wendell Marshall, and drummer Ed Thigpen do their usual yeoman job. But on two tracks, pianist Hank Jones and rhythm guitarist Freddie Green take over, and the sound of the band changes dramatically to the more sensitive side on a low-down version of "When The Blues Come On" and the good-old basic vintage swinger "You're Cheating Yourself". The combination of Rouse and Quinichette was a very satisfactory coupling of two talented and promising post-swing to bop individualists, who played to all of their strengths and differences on this worthy -- and now legendary -- session.   

Die Tradition des paarweisen Tenorsaxophonspiels spiegelte sich in großen Kombinationen wie Wardell Gray und Dexter Gordon, Arnett Cobb und Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis, Gene Ammons und Sonny Stitt sowie Al Cohn und Zoot Sims. Dieses einmalige Treffen von Charlie Rouse und Paul Quinichette vereint zwei stark unterschiedliche Charaktere innerhalb des Mainstream-Jazz-Kontinuums. Rouse, der danach seine überaus produktive Arbeit mit Thelonious Monk begann und zu der Zeit mit dem berühmten Waldhornspieler Julius Watkins zusammenarbeitete, entwickelte einen für ihn typischen fließenden Sound, der sich aus dem eher schlanken und gesprächigen Stil entwickelte, der hier zu hören ist. Zu dieser Zeit, im Jahr 1957, stand Quinichette - mit dem Spitznamen 'Vice Prez' versehen wegen seiner ähnlichen Herangehensweise wie Lester Young - bereits auf bestem Fuß mit Count Basie. Seine fließende, vollmundige Spielweise voller Soul wurde zur unleugbaren Kraft, wenn auch nur kurz, ehe er kurz danach aus der Szene ausschied, um Elektroingenieur zu werden. Die Technik, bei Stereoaufnahmen die beiden Saxophone auf verschiedenen Kanälen aufzunehmen, war typisch für jene Zeit, und das Ergebnis ist gut, egal, ob Soli oder eine gemeinsame Melodie gespielt wird. So hat man die Möglichkeit, genau zu hören, wie verschieden die Beiden sind. Bei Standards haben sie die Tendenz, die Hauptarrangements gemeinsam zu spielen, dann aber spielt einer gelegentlich einen abwei
