The brilliant Sonny Stitt (born in Boston, Massachusetts, on February 2, 1924) remained largely in the shadow of his mentor and inspiration Charlie Parker during the forties and fifties. However, by the time these recordings were made, Stitt was beginning to free himself from that weight. Bird had died in March of 1955 and so Stitt returned to the alto, after having switched to the tenor sax to avoid comparisons. Stitt would alternate between the alto and tenor sax in the following years, recording frequently and achieving the status of living legend. Pressed on 180 gram audiophile vinyl.
