In 1947 Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray teamed up in the studios to record a six-minute tenor “battle” titled “The Chase.” Five years later they performed a much more extended version at one of Gene Norman’s Just Jazz concerts along with a lengthy rendition of “Steeplechase” (the latter also featuring trumpeter Conte Candoli) – Scott Yanow/AllMusic.
