It was recorded on June 14, 1955, at Coastal Studios in New York City. The album was re-released on LP by Atlantic Records in 1982, newly remastered by George Piros. Critical reception ''Billboard'' said "This album is remarkable not only for the superb modern musicianship...but for their successful use of varied old and new jazz sources." John Fordham of ''The Guardian'' said "if these two saxophonists play with an even, almost chilly undemonstrativeness, their melodic ingenuity is dazzling". Peter Marsh, writing for BBC Music, said "Graceful, intelligent improvising that swings - what more could you want? Highly recommended." Scott Yanow, writing for AllMusic, said they "always made for a perfect team." ''The Penguin Guide to Jazz'' selected this album as part of its suggested Core Collection.

Miles Davis
Miles Dewey Davis III (May 26, 1926September 28, 1991) was an American trumpeter, bandleader, and composer.

Davis adopted a variety of musical directions in a five-decade career that kept him at the forefront of many major stylistic developments in jazz. Born in Alton, Illinois, and raised in East St. Louis, Davis left to study at Juilliard in New York City, before dropping out and making his professional debut as a member of saxophonist Charlie Parker's bebop quintet from 1944 to 1948.

After a widely acclaimed comeback performance at the Newport Jazz Festival, he signed a long-term contract wi ...
