The music on this 1996 CD was previously unissued. Sonny Stitt spent most of his career touring as a single, picking up rhythm sections wherever he appeared. On February 11, 1954 he was booked at the Hi-Hat in Boston and the local sidemen he came up with (pianist Dean Earl, bassist Bernie Griggs and drummer Marquis Foster) were competent but undistinguished. However that did not matter much for they were able to state basic chord changes, allowing Stitt to stretch out on standards and his riffing originals. Most unusual about this typical bebop jam is that in addition to his alto and tenor, Stitt triples on baritone (an instrument he otherwise only utilized on two songs for a Prestige date during this period). Stitt often switches horns during the brief piano spots and in fact on a 12-minute version of "One O' Clock Jump" he takes solos on tenor, alto and baritone. Although his flights and constant doubletime passages could be predictable, Sonny Stitt's huge mental storage of ideas, song quotes and personal licks is impressive and his fans will certainly enjoy this reasonably well-recorded set. ~ by Scott Yanow, AMG
