Pianist Oscar Peterson and vibraphonist Milt Jackson met up for the first time on record during this studio session which has been reissued on CD. Peterson here is often content to let Jackson be the main voice during many of the ensembles although he also works at pushing the vibist to play at his most swinging. With the assistance of bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen, Peterson and Jackson are sensitive on the two ballads and really romp throughout "Green Dolphin Street," "Work Song," "John Brown's Body" and "Reunion Blues."

This first matchup on records between pianist Oscar Peterson and vibraphonist Milt Jackson was so logical that it is surprising it did not occur five years earlier. Originally recorded for Verve and three decades later reissued on this audiophile CD by Mobile Fidelity, the quartet set (which also includes bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen) swings as hard as one might expect. Highlights include "On Green Dolphin Street," "The Work Song," "John Brown's Body" (a jam on "Battle Hymn of the Republic") and "Reunion Blues." Fortunately O.P. and Bags would meet up on records many times in the future (particularly during their Pablo years) but this first effort is a particularly strong set.
