Sonny Stitt - The Saxophones Of Sonny Stitt

Review by marta komper

The Saxophones Of Sonny Stitt, a jazz album by Sonny Stitt, is an extraordinary collection of classic jazz tunes that showcases the brilliance of Stitt's saxophone playing. The album features Stitt's virtuosic solos on tenor and alto saxophones, accompanied by a talented backing band that includes pianist Barry Harris, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Roy Brooks.

Stitt's saxophone playing is a masterclass in jazz improvisation, with his fluid and melodic solos effortlessly weaving in and out of the band's accompaniment. His technical mastery of the instrument is evident in every note he plays, and his command of the jazz vocabulary is unparalleled. From the upbeat swing of "The Eternal Triangle" to the soulful balladry of "My Funny Valentine," Stitt's playing is consistently brilliant and captivating.

The backing band on the album is equally impressive, providing a solid foundation for Stitt's solos while also displaying their own virtuosity. Harris's piano playing is particularly noteworthy, with his intricate chord voicings and lightning-fast runs adding depth and complexity to the music.
