Sonny Stitt’s recent album on the Flying Dutchman label (Stomp Off Let’s Go, BDLl-1538) was an ill-conceived, sloppy mess for which he here makes amends. Teaming up with saxophonist James "Red" Holloway, Stitt really does stomp off this time, evoking fond memories of another saxophone team, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Johnny Griffin. If you liked the excitement created by Davis and Griffin on their Prestige and Jazzland albums of the very early Sixties, you will undoubtedly regard this one favorably. "The
Way You Look Tonight," "Lester Leaps In," and "All
God’s Chillun Got Rhythm" are neck-and-neck romps from the first
to the last bar, but the album also contains fine, relaxed blues and ballad
work. Pianist Art Hillary and the rhythm section cook comfortably at any
speed. My door remains open for this team. |
