• Magnificent Sonny Stitt sessions, recorded in New York City, between April 1959 and August 1960.

• Includes tracks from the 5 Roost label albums : "A Little Bit of Stitt", "The Sonny Side of Stitt", "Stittsville", "Sonny Side Up" and "Stitt in Orbit".

• Personnel : Sonny Stitt (as, ts), Jimmy Jones (p), Aaron Bell (b), Charlie Persip, Roy Haynes (d)

• A nimble improviser, Stitt was equally at home on alto sax, unmistakably Parker-inspired, and tenor (in the ‘Pres’ tradition).

• On these albums he sails through a fine selection of jazz standards, American Songbook classics, some blues tunes and ten of his own compositions with polished, swinging authority and an incendiary, gutsy drive.

• Total time: 148:00 min. approx. - 40 tracks - 24-Bit digitally remastered - includes extensive booklet with recording details, notes and rare photos.
