Friendly Fire is an album by the American jazz saxophonists Joe Lovano and Greg Osby recorded in 1998 and released on the Blue Note label.
[1] In his review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine states, "Lovano and Osby are both first-class improvisers, and they turn in dynamic performances throughout the album, whether it's on originals or standards.
They turn Friendly Fire into a compelling listen that's the musical equivalent of the title's promise".
Consistently, their flinty exchanges provoke them to go beyond their usual high standards of passionate intelligence.
Hopefully, Lovano and Osby won’t wait for the next Blue Note anniversary for a second session".
