Clark Terry (trumpet), born 1920 and Max Roach (drums), born 1924 have been cultivating the music scene since the '40s. This album is a remarkable monument of their careers as musicians. The title not only refers to the relationship between Clark and Max but also a dedication to all the musicians they have collaborated with during their remarkable careers. The tunes include duos with Terry and Roach as well as solos by each jazz legend and then a couple songs with Don Friedman (piano) and Marcus McLaurine (bass). Clark Terry has contributed to many famous big bands and gained a strong reputation as the trumpet player of the world. As if an homage to those days, he plays both mute trumpet and flugelhorn on "To Basie With Love," switching each instrument at once. This album surely is another precious treasure for the history of jazz. Recorded by David Baker.
