This is a historic album in which they performed together for the first time in earnest.
Mulligan's cool, flowing phrasing and Monk's angular piano touch complement each other.
The album features a relaxed swing and sophisticated ensemble, with Monk's unique harmonies and Mulligan's warm, flexible sound blending beautifully.
