SONNY STITT - BLOWS THE BLUES (HYBRID SACD)

Sonny Stitt Blows The Blues on Hybrid SACD

Sonny Stitt led a number of excellent record dates in 1959, especially at the end of the year when he produced three LPs for Verve over a span of three sessions with pianist Lou Levy, bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Mel Lewis.

Playing alto sax throughout this album, Stitt hardly sounds like a Charlie Parker clone, something that unfortunately was a frequent claim by tin-eared critics throughout a fair portion of his career. The music on the set includes several potent originals, especially "Hymnal Blues" and the slow, powerful "Morning After Blues."

This product is a Hybrid SACD designed to play in both CD and SACD players, as well as all SACD-compatible DVD players.
