This ultra-rare Sonny Stitt recording for Ahmad Jamal's label has been reissued! Featuring guest appearances from Hancock and Ron Carter, this killer jazz-funk album also features a groovy cover of "Sunny."
This is a unique and rare album among the leader works of Sonny Stitt, known as one of the most prolific composers in the jazz world!
This album, released on pianist Ahmad Jamal's Jamal label, features incredible musicians like Herbie Hancock (piano, keys), Ron Carter (bass), Grady Tate (drums), Gene Bertoncini (guitar), and Bucky Pizzarelli (guitar), showcasing high-quality performances with a lineup of undeniable musicians. While the four-beat beats showcasing Sonny's powerful blow are a delight, the highlights are the superb jazz-funk numbers, worthy of the 1970 recording period. Standards like "Out of This World" and "Summertime" are covered with astonishing jazz grooves, and the high-speed cover of "Sunny" stretches out for over five minutes, making it irresistible! Grady Tate's relentless drumming will have you buzzing with excitement. The funk track "Opus 1," arranged by Dave Ward, is also a masterful production!
