The optimistic "Things Are Getting Better" is a good-natured romp as the co-leads trade and cajole each other into some downright rollicking exchanges. This directly contrasts with the sultry "Serves Me Right," which allows the combo members to demonstrate their collective musical malleability. The interaction between Adderley and Jackson sparkles as they entwine their respective playing with an uncanny singularity of spirit. The cover of Dizzy Gillespie's "Groovin' High" contains another spirited performance with some thoroughly engaging improvisation,.

Personnel: Cannonball Adderley (alto saxophone); Milt Jackson (vibraphone); Wynton Kelly (piano); Percy Heath (acoustic bass); Art Blakey (drums). Recorded at Reeves Sound Studios, New York, New York on October 28, 1958. Originally released on Riverside (1128). The album concludes with a jumping reading of Cole Porter's "Just One of Those Things. While Wynton Kelly has been uniformly solid, his interjections stand out here as he bridges and undergirds the two as they banter with flair and aplomb. These consist of alternate takes of "Serves Me Right" and "Sidewalks of New York. In the case of the former, it can be reasonably argued that this outtake might emotively best the version initially chosen.
