Sonny Stitt "Tornado"

Here’s a little more on the “Juzz” tip. This Sonny Stitt LP was recorded in 1974 on the small Jazz Masters label with “Mixed Bag” and Eddie Russ backing him up. The sound here is pretty similar to what you hear on “Fresh Out” with of course, Sonny laying down some funky sax licks over the top. Needless to say, there are some heaters on here, in particular the cuts “Tornado” and “Escanaba Beat” which deliver that classic jazz-funk sound you can move your ass to.


If your diggin’ on the joints I’m posting here let me know in the comments section and I’ll keep on rolling em out………….. Peace, Dr.Fever

Sonny Stitt is the best! Love your blog. Love Joe Pass & Jack Wilkins. How do I donate out of print vinyl to your blog? Do I need a USB turntable?
