    Magnifique album of two tenor giants. Both are playing in relaxing mood. Hawk bit more edged or adventurous...Unique This reissue offers two bonus track in comparison to original, Maria and Cocktails For Two. The latter mono version is to me better than stereo. The mono song is more compact and vital, despite less resolution of Ellis guitar. I am not fan of early "Peterson" stereo picture, which cut him aside or solo position. Anyway excellent UK reissue, except bit bootleg cover and absent perfect Hentoff´s notes.
