Bad Points: The recording quality leaves something to be desired on some tracks, but it is hard to say that this detracts from the album--in fact, I think it can very well be said to add to one's listening.

General comments: This album is invaluable to anyone who loves jazz. Breau and Terry's musicianship here is impeccable and embody s all aspects of the genre.

Perhaps the best aspect of this album is the candidness and spontaneity with which it was recorded. Breau and Terry really explore and challenge each other and the interplay between two truly gifted musicians is a rare treat.
