Sonny Stitt • Low Flame

 



Stitt plays both tenor and alto sax on this set, backed by his working band of the time: Don Patterson on organ, Billy James on drums, and Paul Weeden on guitar. This small combo jazz fits between Bebop and soul-jazz, dominated by group-penned material. Stitt gets an especially smoky tone on the ballads, particularly on the title track, which is a sultry blues number also featuring the guitarist and organ in their solo turns. Weeden distinguishes himself more as a soloist than Patterson does, particularly on the Wes Montgomery-type lines on 'Silly Billy'.

Stitt toca tanto el saxo tenor como el alto en este set, respaldado por su banda de trabajo de la época: Don Patterson en el órgano, Billy James en la batería, y Paul Weeden en la guitarra. Este pequeño combo de jazz encaja entre el Bebop y el soul-jazz, dominado por material de grupo. Stitt obtiene un tono especialmente ahumado en las baladas, en particular en la canción principal, que es un sensual número de blues que también incluye al guitarrista y al órgano en sus giros solistas. Weeden se distingue más como solista que Patterson, particularmente en las líneas de tipo Wes Montgomery en 'Silly Billy'.
