This double-disc collection assembles four seminal
Sonny Stitt
dates for
Verve
(without presenting them in chronological order): disc one includes
Saxophone Supremacy
, a 1960 session with pianist
Lou Levy
, bassist
Leroy Vinnegar
, and drummer
Mel Lewis
, and almost all of 1957's
Personal Appearance
(the final track of the album kicks off disc two), with bassist
Edgar Willis
, drummer
Kenny Dennis
, and pianist
Bobby Timmons
. Disc two, after finishing off
, heads right into another 1960 session with the appropriately titled
Sits in with the Oscar Peterson Trio
and finishes with 1955's
Battle of Birdland
with
Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis
, which was released on the
subsidiary
Roost
. All of these recordings are available individually on CD, but this is a price-conscious presentation that doesn't sacrifice sound quality. ~ Thom Jurek
