This third volume of Sonny Stitt's complete recorded works in chronological
order is packed with positive vibrations. Between May 1951 and November 1953,
three different record labels -- Chess, Prestige, and Roost -- presented the
saxophonist in several deliciously varied musical contexts. The Chess studios
employed smooth, dramatic production values, adding just enough reverb to
transform Stitt's already handsome tonalities into stunning waves of
larger-than-life masculinity, archetypically personified in the early '50s by
the great Gene Ammons. The first of two Prestige dates, in fact, feels more than
a little like an Ammons blowing session. Here Stitt used both alto and tenor
saxophones, cooking splendidly. Six months later, Stitt waxed four exciting
sides with a band including bassist Ernie Shepard and drummer Shadow Wilson. On
two of the tracks -- a pair of wonderful mambos -- the quartet was fortified
with three trumpeters and Puerto Rican percussionist Humberto Morales. Some jazz
critics always seem to be whining about Caribbean percussion as though the
inclusion of this vibrant component somehow detracts from the music to which it
is added. Dizzy Gillespie, who did so much to circulate and popularize these
rhythms and the instruments on which they are played, would surely disagree.
(Naturally, what matters most is how the blending is done.) When Stitt crossed
over to Roost Records in November 1952, he was inadvertently lining himself up
with master drummer Jo Jones. This might have something to do with the general
mood of the session, which feels at times like Lester Young on a really good
day. "Symphony Hall Swing," a cousin to Al Haig's "Opus Caprice," is
recognizable as Thelonious Monk's "Rhythm-A-Ning," a set of variations based in
George Gershwin's "I Got Rhythm" and containing motifs traceable to both Mary
Lou Williams and Charlie Christian. Stitt's next date with Roost used radically
different instrumentation in the form of the Johnny Richards Orchestra. The
lineup is wonderfully diverse: in front of Charles Mingus, Horace Silver, and
Don Lamond, Don Elliott blows mellophone in tandem with Kai Winding's trombone,
and Sid Cooper supplies interjections on the piccolo. Stitt sails through each
selection sounding unwaveringly cool and in command. Eight months later a second
Richards/Stitt session brought back Mingus and reinstated Jo Jones, who doubled
on bongos in order to complement the fine conga drumming of Santa Miranda. A
delightful surprise arrives in a sort of Cubano bop update of the old apple pie
melody "Shine on Harvest Moon." Everything on this disc is excellent mid-20th
century jazz, and none of it needs to be legitimized by critics or historians.
It legitimates itself every time the recordings are played back. Just loosen up
and enjoy.
