Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Stitt & Sonny Rollins - Sonny Side Up - Verve Vault Series LP

180g Vinyl, Verve Vault Series, Mastered from Analog Tapes

Sonny Side Up, released in 1959 on Verve, is the masterful studio collaboration between trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and tenor saxophonists Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt. Recorded in December 1957 with producer Norman Granz, the album brings three of modern jazz's most distinctive musicians together in a rare frontline configuration. Gillespie trades choruses with two tenor titans of contrasting approach—Rollins, with his thematic development and rhythmic elasticity, and Stitt, with his rapid-fire bebop fluency—leaving no doubt that both are heavyweight champions. The Verve Vault series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
