Tracks list
Classic Sonny Stitt for Verve – one of those masterful albums he cut for the label in the 50s – all in a format thats misleadingly simple on paper, but surprisingly complex in execution! Stitts backed by a trio that includes Lou Levy on piano, Leroy Vinnegar on bass, and Mel Lewis on drums – but all players seem to hit a more deeply soulful groove than usual – just the right sound to match Sonnys sharper-edge groove, and near-perfect execution of his solos. Stitts tone is right out front in the mix – beautifully recorded by Norman Granz, with as much respect to his sound as Sonny brings to his own renditions of the tunes. Tracks: 01 - Cover the Waterfront 02 - Lazy Bones 03 - Sunday 04 - Just Friends 05 - All of Me 06 - Two Bad Days Blues 07 - Its You Or No One 08 - Blue Smile Personnel: Sonny Stitt - alto sax Lou Levy - piano Leroy Vinnegar - bass Mel Lewis - drums
