This outstanding live jazz recording captures two giants of modern jazz performing together at the height of their powers. Tenor saxophonist Stan Getz and trombonist J.J. Johnson are joined by an all-star rhythm section featuring Oscar Peterson on piano, Ray Brown on bass, Herb Ellis on guitar and Connie Kay on drums.

Recorded live at the Civic Opera House in Chicago during the celebrated Jazz at the Philharmonic tours, the album showcases extended improvisations, exceptional musicianship and the relaxed chemistry of some of the finest jazz performers of the era. The performances are energetic yet sophisticated, making this a highly enjoyable listen for both serious jazz collectors and newcomers to classic jazz.

The inclusion of Oscar Peterson’s trio elevates the recording further, providing a world-class accompaniment throughout.
