Buck Clayton with Buddy Tate - Buck & Buddy blow the blues (1961) [re-rip]

A romping little session from Buck Clayton and Buddy Tate - served up in a looser, more relaxed setting than the former's albums for Columbia, and a slightly more swing-based mode than the latter's dates for Chess! Both horn players get plenty of room to solo in the open-ended Swingville mode - Buck on trumpet and Buddy on both tenor and clarinet - and the group's a nice one too, since Sir Charles Thompson's playing piano, Gene Ramey's on bass, and Gus Johnson's on drums. Titles include "Blue Creek", "Blue Breeze", "Blue Ebony", "Rompin At Red Bank", and "Dallas Delight". © Dusty Groove, Inc.
