"It’s rumored that Gillespie playfully pitted Rollins and Stitt against each other ahead of the session which resulted in the bar being raised and the creation of an iconic album. Stitt dives in head-first with fiery intensity on ‘The Eternal Triangle’, a track frequently cited for its extended form and blistering tempo that stands as one of the definitive examples of the saxophone “cutting sessions” that defined the hard bop era, whereas Rollins counters with what can be seen as a more deliberate approach. Make no mistake, though, the two trade blows throughout the set leaving no doubt that both are heavyweight champions."
