This release contains Harry Edison & Buck Clayton’s complete album Harry Edison Swings Buck Clayton and Vice Versa (Verve MGVS 6016), featuring both trumpet stars plus Jimmy Forrest on tenor sax. This was the only collaborative small group studio LP ever made by the two trumpet stars, who has spent more than a decade working together in the Count Basie orchestra. As a bonus, the only two alternate takes from the date; a complete session recorded that same year featuring Harry Edison paired with tenor great Coleman Hawkins, and a spirited Newport performance by a Buck Clayton small group also featuring Hawkins.
