In the original liner notes, producer Norman Granz states that he was interested in the results of a front-line collaboration between saxophonists Stan Getz and Gerry Mulligan.
He also commented that this was the first time they recorded together as the primary horns of a session. Even though this project proved very successful musically and both musicians had known each other long before it was recorded, they would never again play together in this format (at least on records).

**** DOWNBEAT (1957) -A Getz-Mulligan meeting on record was, one supposes, inevitable sooner or later. In capturing both saxists for a joint date, in supplying them with a rhythm section of top calibre, it was produced a worldwide jazz album-. John A. Tynan
