The record
A late-'70s meeting of swing and bebop generations, pairing Hampton's ringing vibes with Gordon's big, unhurried tenor over a crack rhythm section of Hank Jones, Bucky Pizzarelli, and George Duvivier. Candido's congas add a loose, after-hours warmth to this lesser-documented corner of both leaders' discographies.
