Sonny Stitt: Personal Appearance

Read "Personal Appearance" reviewed by David Rickert

by David Rickert
September 14, 2004

Few artists recorded as prolifically as Sonny Stitt; over the course over 100+ albums, he seemed to play with anybody willing to pick up an instrument and join him in the studio. Inevitably, there was a lot of mediocre material released, and it can be a little tricky finding Stitt's best stuff. Personal Appearance ...

Bootsie Barnes: Bootsie Barnes: Boppin' Round the Center

Read "Bootsie Barnes: Boppin' Round the Center" reviewed by Victor L. Schermer

June 6, 2004

This CD featuring Bootsie Barnes and a group assembled for the occasion has one characteristic uncommon in an era of so-called 'smooth jazz,' rap singing, and canned music for every occasion from cinematically simulated inner city rumbles to drugs for erectile dysfunction. It really swings! It also 'bops around the center!' (I truly don't know what ...

Sonny Stitt: Sax O'Bebop

Read "Sax O'Bebop" reviewed by AAJ Staff

April 22, 2004

This recent four-disc set covers the period 1946-1952, during which Sonny Stitt made the transition from promising young bebopper to jazz master. It is typical of the British Proper boxes; it's affordable, the sound ranges from so-so to fairly good, and the music is often wonderful. In the case of Sax O'Bebop, there are a few ...

Sonny Stitt: Goin

Read "Goin" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey
April 9, 2003

Goin’ Down Slow was recorded during the same period as Bobby Timmons’ Orchestra and Trio, both recordings made in the 1970s to appeal to '70s sensibilities. That it is unfair to compare these recordings by today’s or today’s retro-sensibilities goes without saying. But nothing takes the grease out of hard bop faster than strings and other ...

January 22, 2003

To inaugurate his latest musical milestone--the starting of Label M--one of jazz’s most underrated production legends, Joel Dorn, has taken a set by his musical counterpart, the electrifying saxophonist Sonny Stitt, from the vaults of the Left Bank Jazz Society and put it back on vinyl (er- plastic). In doing so, he helps sustain the Society’s ...
