Notes: Personnel: Sonny Stitt (alto saxophone, tenor saxophone); Sonny Stitt; Perri Lee, Perri Jones (organ); Joe Benjamin (bass instrument); Reunald Jones, Blue Mitchell, Dick Vance (trumpet); Willie Ruff (French horn); Jimmy Cleveland, Matthew Gee (trombone); Duke Jordan (piano); Philly Joe Jones, Frank Brown (drums). Recording information: 07/16/1962-07/17/1962. Arrangers: Jimmy Mundy; Tadd Dameron. This LP features altoist Sonny Stitt accompanied by a nonet playing arrangements by either Tadd Dameron or Jimmy Mundy. The charts give this Stitt album more variety than usual, and the superior material (which includes "On a Misty Night," "Poinciana" and Stitt's "Hey Pam") challenges the saxophonist to play at his best; trumpeter Blue Mitchell also has a couple of spots. This recommended session was reissued for the first time on CD by the Collectables label in 2004. ~ Scott Yanow & Al Campbell
