Chatter Jazz subtitled The Talkative Horns of Rex Stewart and Dickie Wells, is an album by cornetist Rex Stewart and trombonist Dicky Wells which was recorded in 1959 and released on the RCA Victor label.[1]
Ken Dryden of AllMusic states, "the two horn players exchange ideas through a series of "conversations" utilizing various mutes, never going for very long without giving time to the other. These friendly studio dates are somewhat low-key but consistently swinging; the only drawback is that the tracks are rather brief, with only two of the 12 songs exceeding three minutes".[2]The Rough Guide to Jazz said "Both Dicky Wells and Stewart were masters of sound as well as possessing rich senses of musical humor, and this is what this album is about. They converse amicably and spiritedly on suitable selections ... A few tracks at a time may be the best way".[3]
