A rare one for Sonny Stitt – an album for Pacific Jazz recorded on the west coast, but done with some hard-burning organ work by Charles Kynard that easily matches any of Stitt's best soul jazz sides from the east! There's a tightly cooking feel to the entire set that's really great – a style that's slightly different than Sonny's work for Argo or Prestige, but which is equally great – thanks to fluid lines on Hammond from Kynard, and some great guitar from the under-rated Ray Crawford. The group's completed by Doug Sides on drums – and titles include "Blue Skies", "Sitt In Time", "Summer Special", "My Mother's Eyes", and "SOP Blues".

Una rareza para Sonny Stitt - un álbum para Pacific Jazz grabado en la costa oeste, pero hecho con un trabajo de órgano de Charles Kynard que fácilmente iguala cualquiera de los mejores temas de soul jazz de Stitt en el este. Hay una sensación de cocción muy apretada en todo el conjunto que es realmente genial - un estilo que es ligeramente diferente del trabajo de Sonny para Argo o Prestige, pero que es igualmente genial - gracias a las líneas fluidas en el Hammond de Kynard, y una gran guitarra del infravalorado Ray Crawford. El grupo se completa con Doug Sides a la batería - y los títulos incluyen «Blue Skies», «Sitt In Time», «Summer Special», «My Mother's Eyes», y «SOP Blues».
