4.0 out of 5 stars Nice trumpet album 17 Jan 2009
By Nikica Gilic TOP 500 REVIEWER TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
Admittedly, this nice 1961 LP - CD does start on the hottest number (Chittlin') and doesn't sustain the heeth... But both "Shorty" Baker (one of the Ellingtonians) and Cheatham (in future becoming a major elder statesman of jazz) play really fine, in spite of Walter Bishop's piano being somewhat lost between the stars of the album and his own musical proclivities (he WAS one of the Charlie Parker+s pianists)...

All in all, a good listening experience, although not really essential. If you believe all sorts of jazz guides I consulted (Rough Guide, All Music), Cheatham actually improved in years following this date, so I'll probably check into that. For Baker, who was the more famous one when this was recorded, there are no other small band albums mentioned in the sources I consulted, so this is a special project for him...

4.0 out of 5 stars Double trumpet doings 4 Mar 2005
By Bomojaz - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Trumpeters Shorty Baker and Doc Cheatham join up in this consistently fine CD, recorded in 1961. Half the tunes are slow ballads or blues, done beautifully. This is a solid date that will not disappoint.

4.0 out of 5 stars Old Timers Prevail 5 Feb 2001
By Raymond E. Wilson - Published on Amazon.com
You just can't beat the majority of jazz issued in the 60's. Although not a big trumpet fan, these old timers just like Henry "Red" Allen could blow. This is a loose blowing session that strolls along at a nice pace.Keep your eye opened for Fantasy reissues in the bargain bin, there is some great stuff there for "moldy figs". The 60's were the times of great jazz, the 70"s for contemporary, the 80"s for country. After that things went to hell
