This album is appropriately named, as it's got lots of great interplay among the players on it. Jim Hall, Bill Evans and Freddie Hubbard just feed off each other, and at times it's not entirely clear who's the soloist and who's comping. The rhythm section provide a solid foundation underneath. The recording is warm, very present sounding, and gives the listener the feel of being in a nice jazz club, with Jim mixed stage left, Bill stage center, Freddie stage right, and Jones slightly left and the bassist right.
