このアルバムはソニースティットの中でも一番好き、

[@jman12849]

that opening lick by stitt on Bud's Blues is amazing. That's how music should be played!

[@渡邉政雄-t3s]

１９５４年、ピアニスト守安祥太郎の幻のモカンボセッションは、このソニー・スティットとバド・パウエルのプレステージセッションをお手本にしていますね。

[@jazzerson7087]

First killer lick I think is something like: A3, C4 (middle C), E, G, E, F, A, C5, E, Eflat, D, D flat, C5, A4, G, F, F#, E flat5, C5, C#, D, B flat4, G, F, F#, D5, B flat 4, F#4, G and Bflat dyad, D4, E flat, E, G, B flat 4, C#, C# diminished chord (E, G, B flat, C#). The left hand I think is 5 chords A and E, A flat, E flat, G, D etc. A handful at even half pace!

[@desmondsykes9244]

intersting that buds left hand is so dominant in this recording

Bravo! You have done it again, Otaku-san! (P.S.: "Sonnyside" is not a Sonny Stitt original, but is a copy of Charlie Parker's "Dexterity")

[@60otaku4]

Thanks so much, ghairraigh-san!! Otaku4 (*^o^)/

[@dddjzzz3705]

Actually it ain't dexterity just the first bar or.two listen close ..and if u heard all that why didnt u comment on what tune sunset is ripped.off from. Stitts just vlowin over the changes to avoid royalties

[@dddjzzz3705]

These foolish things......

[@ghairraigh]

I regret that by the time I got to the 4th cut my head was just spinning, and I didn't notice! I shall post my notes with your kind revisions. 1) All God's Chillun Got Rhythm (Walter Jurmann, Gus Kahn, Bronislaw Kaper) 2) Sonnyside (Sonny Stitt, but it sounds like "DEXTERITY" by Charlie Parker) 3) Bud's Blues (Sonny Stitt) 4) Sunset (Sonny Stitt, based on 'These Foolish Things'). Personnell: Sonny Stitt (tenor sax), Bud Powell (piano), Curly Russell (bass), Max Roach (drums) from the album 'SONNY STITT WITH BUD POWELL AND J.J. JOHNSON' (Prestige Records, 1950)

So what was JJ Johnson’s contribution on this album?

[@60otaku4]

The B side of this LP record is the leader session by J.J. Johnson (October,1949). Otaku4 (^_^)b

[@olebirgerpedersen]

Sonnyside is build over I got rythm and very close to Dexterity.
