"From the opening duo of 'Bags & Trane' (an original blues by Jackson) through to the out chorus of 'The Late Late Blues' (another blues by Bags), there is scarcely a phrase where the 'other horn' (and the rhythm section, too, for that matter) is not primarily concerned with answering back, or interpreting, or commenting upon, what the other man has had to say -- or in feeding him a provocative statement to which he, in turn, must reply, ever more interestingly, in his own solo to come."
