This CD combines a complete session that Sonny Stitt (doubling on alto and tenor) did with the 1959 Oscar Peterson Trio (which includes the pianist/leader, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Ed Thigpen) and three titles from 1957 with Peterson, Brown, guitarist Herb Ellis, and drummer Stan Levey. The music very much has the feel of a jam session and, other than a themeless blues, all of the songs are veteran standards. Highlights of this fine effort include "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," "The Gypsy," "Scrapple from the Apple," "Easy Does It," and "I Remember You." Lots of cooking music. ~Scott Yanow
Sits In With The Oscar Peterson Trio
Thanks once again Mat Tiggas, yet another great album, I like this recording as it demonstrates Stitt's ability on the Alto Sax, just listen to The Gypsy.
ReplyDeleteGood jazz, but a dated production : Stitt is on the right and Oscar on the left. Those were the days!
