Cutting sessions are nothing new. The competitive one-upmanship in the quest for musical and instrumental virtuosity runs deep in jazz lore. While the king-of-the bandstand positioning of these matchups might be what first comes to mind, in many, if not most situations, the "competition" is amongst revered friends, who simply dig playing with one another. The winner of any such bout is without a doubt the audience and all the cats playing the date. In this hour, we will explore a few classic cutting session lineups and spend some time with Eric Alexander and Vincent Herring chatting about their upcoming release.
