Description
1959 1st Uk labels HMV CLP 1363 Sonny Stitt Quartet: Personal Appearance. A rare chance to own a first year pressing in pristine condition, played maybe three or four times in its 52 year life. One of stitts best regarded albums, AMG saying;
While the comparisons to Charlie Parker were inevitable throughout a good part of his career, Sonny Stitt was very much his own man. He is in top form throughout this 1957 session made for Verve, featuring a very young Bobby Timmons on piano, bassist Edgar Willis, and drummer Kenny Dennis. Alternating between alto and tenor saxophone in a program consisting mostly of standards, Stitt is equally at home on each horn. His soulful tenor shines in "Easy Living," while the loping "Autumn in New York" showcases his exuberant alto. Timmons, who had just made his recording debut as a sideman with Kenny Burrell the previous year, hints at his potential with a blues-drenched solo in "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To." Long out of print and one of Stitt's best recordings at this point in his career.
This record is visually Near Mint, in a Near Mint sleeve (just letters LES to rear), labels are clean.
