It is difficult to believe after listening to this two-CD set, that Sonny Stitt
only had six weeks left in his life; he already had cancer but did not know it.
Switching between tenor and alto, Stitt on the first disc is heard in top form
with pianist Junior Mance, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Jimmy Cobb while
the second CD (recorded the following day) adds trumpeter Bill Hardman and has
Walter Davis in Mances place. As was typical of Stitts career, the music
throughout is high-quality bebop with the saxophonist stretching out creatively
over common chord changes. This double CD (a straight reissue of two single LPs)
shows that Sonny Stitt went out on top.~Scott Yanow
