4 1/2 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

“The cool tenor of Stan Getz and the extroverted vibraphonist Lionel Hampton might have seemed like an unlikely matchup but once again producer Norman Granz showed his talents at combining complementary talents. Hampton and Getz really battle hard on ‘Cherokee’ and ‘Jumpin’ at the Woodside’ and, other than a ballad medley, the other selections on this album are also heated. Classic music from two of the best.” (Scott Yanow)
