Temperley/Allen - Cocktails for Two [CD]

This performance recording captures the genuine excitement and swing when top quality musicians get together in the creation of jazz music. Baritone saxophonist Joe Temperley and tenor saxophonist Harry Allen blend together into a highly distinctive tonal mix. Their irresistible desire to play music with swing turns whatever they play into explosively dynamic music. The recording took place at Sunnie Sutton's Rocky Mountain Jazz Party in October 2006 and the tracks include Oscar Pettiford's classic line Blues in the Closet, jazz standards in a Mellotone and Jumpin' at the Woodside, as well as popular songs like Cocktails for Two, Sweet & Lovely, I've Got a World on a String, Polka Dots & Moonbeams and Everything Happens to Me.
