Review:
On the five tracks of Together Again!, recorded with three separate lineups in 1959-1960, the Willis Jackson-Jack McDuff-speared combo offers respectable early soul-jazz, if not too different from many other Prestige-overseen sessions of the early '60s. They show their bop chops to good advantage on "Three Little Words" and "Tu' Gether"; take a slightly bluesier groove on "Glad 'a See Ya'"; and slow way down for a make-out mood on the cover of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "It Might as Well Be Spring." It's the slow-walkin'-tempoed "This'll Get to Ya," though, that gives them their greatest chance to stretch out, lasting ten minutes, and adding Buck Clarke on conga to the standard sax-organ-guitar-bass-drums lineup. All of the tracks are included on the 2003 Prestige CD reissue that's also titled Together Again!, which is a little more complicated than the standard expanded CD reissue; it combines all the tracks from Together Again! and the Jackson-McDuff-helmed sequel, Together Again, Again, though the songs are sequenced in the order in which they were recorded, not the order in which they were presented on the original LPs.

Reseña:
En los cinco temas de Together Again!, grabados con tres alineaciones separadas en 1959-1960, el combo de Willis Jackson-Jack McDuff ofrece un respetable soul-jazz temprano, si no demasiado diferente de muchas otras sesiones de Prestige de principios de los 60. Muestran sus chuletas de bop con buena ventaja en "Three Little Words" y "Tu' Gether"; toman un ritmo un poco más blues en "Glad 'a See Ya'"; y van más despacio para un ambiente de besuqueo en la portada de "It Might as Well Be Spring" de Rodgers & Hammerstein. Pero es el ritmo lento de "This'll Get to Ya" lo que les da la oportunidad de estirarse, durando diez minutos, y añadiendo a Buck Clarke en la conga a la alineación estándar de saxo, órgano, guitarra, bajo y batería. Todos los temas están incluidos en la reedición del CD de Prestige de 2003 que también se titula Together Again!, que es un poco más complicado que la reedición estándar de CD ampliado; combina todos los temas de Together Again! y la secuela de Jackson-McDuff-helmed, Together Again, Again, aunque las canciones están secuenciadas en el orden en que se grabaron, no en el orden en que se presentaron en los LP originales.
