This album finds two pianists with very different styles pairing off. Basie is the lapidary minimalist, playing one perfectly placed note where others, like, well, Peterson would be a prime example, would run a flashy scale. (As you might guess, I favor Basie's approach.) They try to meet somewhere in the middle on this recording, and for the most part succeed. A gently swinging blues-based session, well-recorded by Val Valentin.
