ビッグバンド・ジャズを生き抜いてきた二大人気ドラマーの共演盤。ダブルドラム、それもステレオ効果で左右に分かれての共演ですから火花が散らないわけがない! 「Jumpin' At The Woodside」から「It Don't Mean A Thing」へと続く冒頭から妥協無し! お互いのライバル心が燃え上がります。そのものズバリ、ふたりのドラム合戦の「Duet」も凄い! スカ・ビートの「Perdido」はビッグバンド志望者はお手本にしましょう! 目が点、耳が点!.

サッチモ、エリントン、ベニー・グッドマン、ガレスピー、そしてペレス・プラードまで、ジャズの道をひとたび歩もうと思うものなら、かつては絶対に通った道のような名曲。それが「St. Louis Blues」。RCA Victorに残された(新録音も含む)古今のカヴァーを集めたユニークな企画盤です。ジャイヴなアーサ・キット、火の出るようなガレスピーのラテン・ヴァージョン、ハル・シェイファーの知的な解釈、一曲を舞台にした個性の響宴、おもしろい!.
