From the very beginning, their musical chemistry was unmistakable—and it remains as potent today as ever, with each pushing the other to reach new heights. In this project, they celebrate one of jazz’s great traditions: the ‘Two Tenors’ — or, as they like to call it, the ‘Tough Tenors’. Drawing on both classic and contemporary recordings, Allen and Garnett explore the rich history of saxophone partnerships, reimagining the music through their own distinct voices. Well-known collaborations such as Dexter Gordon & Wardell Gray, Johnny Griffin & Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis, Sonny Stitt & Gene Ammons, and Al Cohn & Zoot Sims form part of the foundation. Alongside these are lesser-known and more contemporary pairings, including David “Fathead” Newman & James Clay, Joe Lovano & Joshua Redman, Seamus Blake & Chris Cheek, and Eric Alexander & Grant Stewart.
