Clifford Jordan and Junior Cook make for a perfectly compatible team on this 1984 CD. While assisted by pianist Kirk Lightsey, bassist Cecil McBee, and drummer Eddie Gladden, the very distinctive tenors inspire each other on originals, obscurities, Charles Davis'"Half and Half," and "Groovin' High." High-quality hard bop with a bit of competitiveness resulting in some fiery moments. - Scott Yanow
