These two albums on one CD, featuring Buck Clayton and Buddy Tate, were originally released on the Swingville label, in 1960 : ‘Buck & Buddy’ and its sequel, ‘Buck & Buddy Blow the Blues’ are unique for being the only quintet studio albums the two made together. Clayton and Tate began playing together as far back as 1939. They met in the Count Basie orchestra, a band they’d both remain with for nearly a decade. Although they would continue playing and recording together extensively well into the mid-1970s.

On both works they are backed by the outstanding pianist Sir Charles Thompson and bassist Gene Ramey, while the drum chair is alternately filled by Mousey Alexander and Gus Johnson. A different version of “Thou Swell”, recorded in 1957 by both Clayton and Tate, has been added as a bonus.
