Reunion Caliman,hadley / Christlieb,pete

First meeting in the clubs of Los Angeles' Central Avenue in the early '60s, and following separate but superlative careers, the two tenor legends reunited in the fall of 2009 to perform a couple of concerts and record this album, taking up where they left off close to 40 years ago. With original music by pianist Bill Anschell and the two headliners along with a rousing version of "Love for Sale," and a singular exploration of "I Thought About You" by Hadley, the band creates a warm and swinging recording, a great document of two longtime friends and icons of American music.
