• Two of Sonny Stitt’s earliest, most important albums. Backing his superb work on alto and tenor are bands conducted by two of the finest jazz arrangers: Johnny Richards, and Quincy Jones in one of his first—and best—efforts in the field.

• Of the 1953 sessions Stitt gets most of the solo space but Kai Winding, Don Elliott, and the rhythm section also deliver some of the set’s most memorable moments. On the second (1955) album Stitt is again the main soloist, playing alto—his best instrument—but there are significant contributions from Hank Jones, Oscar Pettiford, and Jimmy Nottingham throughout.
