Benny Golson and Curtis Fuller, who go back to their Jazztet days in the 1950s and 19602, are reunited in this great bop-oriented album. Recorded in 1998, it features the quintet with Benny Green on piano, Dwayne Burno on bass, and Joe Farnsworth on drums. Plus, on the opening track, special guests Jimmy McGriff and Wayne Boyd play the Hammond B-3 and guitar, respectively.
It is great to hear the two principals blow their horns with authority and age-defying power. The highlight of the CD is the medium-tempo blues "South Street Jam" with McGriff on the B-3. Drenched in the soulful essence of the blues, everybody shines!
