Jazztropic, just listened to my copy to refresh my memory. It is a pleasant CD with Bud and Rein playing 6 very familiar standards. However, there are a number of other Bud Shank CDs that I would recommend you get before this one. These first 6 I am suggesting are all quartet sessions and to my mind are unquestionably superior to "Alone Together".

I Told You So - Candid 79533

The Doctor Is In - Candid 79520

Plays The Music Of Bill Evans - Fresh Sound 5012

After You, Jeru - Fresh Sound 5026

Meets the Rhythm Section - By Request - Milestone 9273-2

This Bud's For You - 32 Jazz 32164

There is also one other duo session by Bud Shank this time with Lou Levy. It is, in my view, a very good one that I like far more than "Alone Together".

Lost In The Stars: Play The Sinatra Songbook - Fresh Sound 183
