The Sunnyside label made an auspicious debut in 1982 with this album, a fine duo
session featuring pianist Harold Danko and bassist Rufus Reid, who worked
together in the rhythm section of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. Starting
off with a rollicking treatment of Thelonious Monks In Walked Bud, Danko and
Reid share the spotlight. They interpret Jackie McLeans dramatic Omega with Reid
playing arco as Danko builds upon its hypnotic theme. The duos romp through
Charlie Parkers Red Cross is yet another delight, while Wayne Shorters haunting
ballad Penelope is remarkable for its subtle arrangement. The pianist
contributed two originals, including the shimmering, understated ballad Pastoral
Landing and the appropriately lighthearted Mirth Song, the latter suggesting
children at play. Reids Elegy features the composer prominently, a brooding
piece that gradually unfolds as the tempo picks up. Highly recommended.
