CD Reviews

I remember this one!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"It was originally titled "Together Again For The First Time"--people had assumed they had recorded before but had not.This recording was made "direct-to-disc"--a live recording put right onto vinyl with no master tape, no second chance to go back and re-do a blemish. It was an attempt in the late 70's to improve the sound on vinyl--direct to disc and digital were two state of the art ways at the time.Both were at the height of their powers and performed as expected."

"This session exudes so much mutual respect between two giants, not to mention energy and aplomb, that one is inclined to forgive a couple of uninspired song choices. Since the arrangements are Mel's, presumably he deserves the credit or blame for selecting the 70s material that sounds more dated than the classic repertory. Also, the use of electric bass no longer seems as well-advised a choice as was the case 25 years ago.In any case, "Blues in the Night" and above all "Lady Be Good" are easily worth the cost of admission. The latter tune is a tribute to Ella by the only singer who could come close to matching her scat elocution. And when he trades scat phrases with Rich's drum breaks on 4-bar, then 2-bar, and finally 1-bar exchanges, you wish they'd never stop. There's no better example of either performer on record. What a pity that Sinatra, who frequently performed with Rich in his later years, never made a recording with him after the Dorsey period. At least someone had the foresight to assure that would not happen with Mel and Buddy."
