This is a very short but nice meeting of two underrated tenors.I can't speak for the backing band as I have never heard of any of them but they all seem to rise to the occasion as needed.
What draws me to this outing is Stitt's Parker influences smack up against Sims' Prez impressions. And the way they co-mingle sometimes to the point where I struggle to tell which tenor is blowing.
Stitt picks up his first horn, the alto on Fools Rush In, but it is undeniably Sims' tenor solo on this song that is the highlight of the lp for me.
Anyway, short lp, short review.
