Corey Weeds Meets Jerry Weldon

Tenor saxophone duets have dotted the map over the years of jazz history. Consider formidable pairings like Eddie Lockjaw Davis and Johnny Griffin, or Lockjaw and Sonny Stitt. Or how about the great work of Zoot Sims and Al Cohn? And even a meeting of John Coltrane and Paul Quinichette! So here we have a stunning get together of Corey Weeds and Jerry Weldon. The two tenor titans work their magic with rhythm section pals Miles Black, piano; John Lee, bass; and Jesse Cahill, drums. The tunes chosen by the quintet are rarities from jazz heroes of the past including the aforementioned Lockjaw Davis as well as Clifford Jordan, Freddie Redd, and a tip of the hat to the brothers Gershwin. Weeds, Weldon, and friends find the very heart of the jazz highway here. Highly recommended for you purists out there.
