This is a welcome release, containing the original Urbane Jazz LP by American Recording Society (1957). Carter and Eldridge were old colleagues and sparring partners. The elegance of the altoist's playing on I still love him so is only to be expected but the subsequent tempo doubling attests to the careful attention to detail that lay behind the session. Bruce McDonald is the fine pianist and his work behind Eldridge's muted playing foreshadows the rest of the date where he acquits himself with sterling musicianship. The trumpeter alternates between brassy insouciance and more clement directions in The moon is low with Stoller's clever playing egging him on. Carter meanwhile is pristine and quite unruffled - even, perhaps especially, when they trade eights the two front liners retain their own rights of way; Eldridge's fiery declamations failing to find a response in Carter's serene lyricism.
