chewy, that's one to get! Philly Joe and Elvin play together thru the album.

As Ira Gitler writes in the liner notes:

'Throughout most of the album, both drummers keep time together, but one is usually more active than the other, playing fills and accenting more heavily while the other stays closer to ''straight time''. Also when one drummer plays a long solo, the other keeps time on the high-hat'.

On stereo Philly is on the right channel and Elvin on the left one.

I have the mono version :(

Funny - the way the timings are listed on the back makes it look like they cut out all the drum solos!

I have the complete European pressing.

Overall, I've always been a bit disappointed listening to this date. May try it again sometime. . . .

Ditto. I bought it expecting a "Wow" and got a "ummm, OK". I guess I thought it would be a bit more bombastic? :)

Hank still plays pretty good though.
