Sonny Stitt Personal Appearance(jazz)(flac)[rogercc][h33t]

SONNY STITT PERSONAL APPEARANCE
Label: Verve
Original Released: 1957
Remastered: 2004
Format: Flac



Historically branded as a disciple of Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt had a difficult time establishing his own name on his own terms. Though the similarities with Parker are undeniable--Stitt plays alto with the same blues-inflected phrasing, fleet-fingered dexterity, and progressive stream of ideas--albums like Personal Appearence confirm that Stitt lives up to the comparison. The saxophonist shines in the open, relaxed atmosphere here, aided in part by the accomplished yet unobtrusive backing unit comprised of bassist Edgar Willis, drummer Kenny Dennis, and pianist Bobby Timmons.
