Sonny Stitt • Pow!

 



Review
by Scott Yanow
Altoist Sonny Stitt and trombonist Benny Green make for a potent team on this spirited quintet set. With the exception of the lone standard "I Want to Be Happy," all of the material is obscure. However, the two distinctive horns (along with pianist Kirk Lightsey, bassist Herman Wright and drummer Roy Brooks) have little difficulty essaying these bop pieces, blues and ballads, and their personable styles match well together.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
El contralto Sonny Stitt y el trombonista Benny Green forman un potente equipo en este enérgico quinteto. Con la excepción del único estándar "I Want to Be Happy", todo el material es oscuro. Sin embargo, los dos vientos distintivos (junto con el pianista Kirk Lightsey, el bajista Herman Wright y el baterista Roy Brooks) tienen poca dificultad para ensayar estas piezas de bop, blues y baladas, y sus estilos personales encajan bien juntos.
