Teddy Edwards and Howard McGhee’s Together Again!!!! reunites two major figures of West Coast jazz for a beautifully swinging hard bop session. Originally recorded in 1961, the album pairs Edwards’ warm, muscular tenor saxophone with McGhee’s agile trumpet, backed by Phineas Newborn Jr., Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen. Blues, bop and relaxed ensemble interplay run throughout, with the exceptional line-up making this a particularly strong Contemporary Records session.
