The first two tracks offer a blistering hard bop frenzy. I would pay a full album price just for "eternal triangle", track number two. Sonny Stitt and Rollins complement each other very well and the contrast from Dizzy really pushes this albulm along. This is probably my favourite album at the moment.

Sonny Side up is a great upbeat start to the album with some really lovely solos form all three and cool singing from dizzy.

The Eternal triangle is a composition by sonny Stitt and it's where the record really takes off. The two tenors start trying to outdo each other and it just builds and builds. This is my favourite track - truely breathtaking.

After Hours is a bluesy track with some nice piano.

I kno that you know finishes off nicely. A truely great album. Essential.
