Review by Scott Yanow
This LP comprises one of altoist Lee Konitz's greatest sessions. In 1967 he recorded a series of very diverse duets, all of which succeed on their own terms. Konitz is matched with valve trombonist Marshall Brown on a delightful version of "Struttin' with Some Barbecue" and matches wits with the tenor of Joe Henderson on "You Don't Know What Love Is." He plays "Checkerboard" with pianist Dick Katz, "Erb" with guitarist Jim Hall, "Tickle Toe" with the tenor of Richie Kamuca (Konitz switches to tenor on that cut), and an adventurous and fairly free "Duplexity" with violinist Ray Nance. Konitz also has three different duets in five versions of "Alone Together" and, on "Alphanumeric," welcomes practically everyone back for a final blowout. The music ranges from Dixieland to bop and free, and is consistently fascinating.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este LP recoge una de las mejores sesiones del contralto Lee Konitz. En 1967 grabó una serie de duetos muy diversos, todos los cuales triunfan por sí mismos. Konitz se empareja con el trombonista de válvulas Marshall Brown en una deliciosa versión de «Struttin' with Some Barbecue» e iguala ingenio con el tenor de Joe Henderson en «You Don't Know What Love Is». Toca «Checkerboard» con el pianista Dick Katz, «Erb» con el guitarrista Jim Hall, «Tickle Toe» con el tenor de Richie Kamuca (Konitz cambia a tenor en ese corte), y una aventurera y bastante libre «Duplexity» con el violinista Ray Nance. Konitz también hace tres duetos diferentes en cinco versiones de «Alone Together» y, en «Alphanumeric», da la bienvenida a prácticamente todo el mundo para un reventón final. La música oscila entre el Dixieland, el bop y el free, y es siempre fascinante.
