Reviews :
"From the same sessions that resulted in Night Rider and Yessir, this quartet date also features the two pianos of Oscar Peterson and Count Basie collaborating and interacting on swing standards and blues. Any of their five albums together are worth acquiring." AllMusic by Scott Yanow.
"At first glance, an album of piano duets by Count Basie and Oscar Peterson might suggest a study in opposites. Basie, after all, has long personified economy in jazz -- stripped-to-the-bone, one-note swinging. Peterson is as virtuosic and voluble as Basie is concise and crafty. Stylistic differences, however, don't even momentarily obscure the striking compatibility they demonstrate on their latest album, "The Timekeepers."
Recorded in 1978, it is their fourth collection of collaborations that generally bring out the best in both. As on previous albums, role reversal plays a part. Peterson isn't above mimicking his partner's relaxed phrasing on occasion, and Basie asserts himself briskly on both "Indiana" and "After You've Gone."
When the two slide into their familiar poses, though, the results are particularly enjoyable. "Rent Party," one of three tunes written by Peterson and Basie on this collection, evokes a partial history of jazz piano, with Peterson at his rococo best and Basie nailing down his many impressions with bluesy authority.Basie's showcase, "That's the One," is also worth hearing, as is the Benny Goodman tune "Soft Winds." The accompaniment provided by self-effacing bassist John Heard and firmly responsive drummer Louie Bellson is right on the mark.
Another plus is the album's clean stereo separation, which, coupled with the distinctive approaches of these pianists, allows listeners to easily identify who's doing what when." The Washington Post Review by Mike Joyce
