Thanks, Seabreeze! didn't know about the duet album, looking forward to listening.

I'll just add in my 2c, here's Phil playing clarinet on a cover of "Let's Dance." The recording was made by survivors of Benny's Russia tour in 1962...and if the arrangement starts out sounding a little dour, it's because NOBODY had a good time on the tour because....well, Benny.

Other soloists: Eddie Costa, piano; Gene Allen, bari; trumpet, Marky Markowitz.

(Incidentally, I love Mel Lewis' drumming on this. Tasteful, perfect!)
