In the liner notes to Arnett Cobb Live (Timeless), Lee Jeske wrote in 1982: "A couple of years ago Lionel Hampton assembled an all-star band for a European tour and then had to drop out of the tour due of illness. However, he sent the unit out with his two star tenormen - Cobb and Jacquet - to make up for any disappointment that Hampton's non-appearance would cause. Now this was truly an all-star band - Ricky Ford, Kai Winding, Curtis Fuller, Benny Bailey, etc. - but when those two Texas longhorns started butting heads, there was no stopping them. The other musicians had to steal solo space whenever they could get it, but the audience - on the night I saw the band - was goggle-eyed from the deepfried tenor playing from those two titans."  Are there any recordings of this tour?

Whoa...

Cobb & Jacquet, with Dex, Buddy Tate and Budd Johnson (and Hank Jones Trio)...very saxy! Everybody seem to have a ball.
