Sonny Stitt • Sonny Stitt & The Top Brass

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This LP features altoist Sonny Stitt accompanied by a nonet playing arrangements by either Tadd Dameron or Jimmy Mundy. The charts give this Stitt album more variety than usual, and the superior material (which includes "On a Misty Night," "Poinciana" and Stitt's "Hey Pam") challenges the saxophonist to play at his best; trumpeter Blue Mitchell also has a couple of spots.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este LP presenta al contralto Sonny Stitt acompañado por un noneto que interpreta arreglos de Tadd Dameron o Jimmy Mundy. Los arreglos dan a este álbum de Stitt más variedad que de costumbre, y el material superior (que incluye «On a Misty Night», «Poinciana» y «Hey Pam» de Stitt) desafía al saxofonista a tocar en su mejor momento; el trompetista Blue Mitchell también tiene un par de entradas.
