		Slam Stewart and Major Holley seem such a natural combination that it's strange that their first meeting on records didn't take place until 1977 (in Monte Carlo, would you believe).
		Quiet as it's kept, and with no disrespect to the greatness of Jim Blanton, it is Slam Stewart who first developed a true solo role for the bass in jazz, as he began to demonstrate on record in early 1938.
		Needless to say, Slam is also a master of conventional bass playing (i.e., without the bowing-humming element), and so is Major, who was directly inspired by Slam, but decided to do his thing in unison, thus getting a distinctive sound of his own.

		Slam Stewart and Major Holley were both known for their playful singing along with their bass playing, with Stewart vocalizing in octave unison and Holley in unison with his gravelly voice.
		The most amusing part of the session is when Duvivier suddenly enters the picture as a third bass soloist during Stewart's blues “Slam Mule," provoking bemused comments from both of them.
		The focus is on Holley's originals, which include a foot tapping blues, “Excuse Me, Ludwig," the exotic “Salty Mama Cassoulet" and the gospel-flavored “Lamb Stew for Slam." Holley alternates between arco and pizzicato playing in the lovely non-vocal interpretation of “Lush Life," and the driving rendition of “Blue Skies" also has much to recommend it.

		While the sound is not as good as the recent Verve reissue of post-war Slim Galliard sides, this set has the advantage of Slam Stewart doing this thing (after the war, Slim's partner was Tiny "Bam" King, a good bassist himself).
		Except for one blues, the tunes are uptempo swing numbers performed by small groups of piano, drums and one or two horns in addition to the duo.
