Recorded in Engleood Cliffs, NJ on October 31 (#1-6) and November 1, 1960 (#7-13). Selections #1-6 originally released as Sizzlin' #71-13 as Ballads by Cobb Blue and Sentimental combines two sublime November 1960 sessions - one after-hours ballad collection, the other a swinging affair - led by the booting tenor man Arnett Cobb (1918 - 1989). He's accompanied by two different trios led by fellow Texan Red Garland (1923-1984) who, like Cobb, gained international notice as a sideman (with, of course, Miles Davis in the 1950s; Cobb had been star soloist - "The Wild Man of the Tenor" - with Lionel Hampton in the '40s). And both men enjoyed fairly successful solo careers; stylistically, however they were polar opposites. Cobb phrased in staccato bursts and relied heavily on parched cries, grunts and heaving sobs, while Garland's piano flowed like a river to the sea. Yet Blue and Sentimental is a soulful proof that opposites attract.
