Anybody tell me if these two giants of music who already made an album together and enjoyed it so much they got together again and made this the follow-up: did the sparks really fly??? Sorry...couldn't resist LOL... this one blows the first Basie/Sinatra collab LP outta the water...smokin session, underrated. -
