Sonny Stitt - Blows The Blues - Acoustic Sounds Series LP

180g Vinyl LP, Verve Acoustic Sounds Series

Recorded in late 1959, Blows the Blues catches alto saxophonist Sonny Stitt leading a swinging quartet with pianist Lou Levy, bassist Leroy Vinnegar, and drummer Mel Lewis. Far from any Charlie Parker comparison, Stitt digs into a program of potent originals and blues, highlighted by "Hymnal Blues" and the slow, powerful "Morning After Blues."
