Pepper and sometimes Cecil Payne are the only barys who adopted that more muscular attack. Mulligan and Serge are breathier and don't dig as deep.<br /><br />Unfortunately they weren't yet at 331/3-EP, so not too much room to spread out, just a few bars, still a great treat.

I have always f...Thanks El Enmascarado and Woodie,<br /><br />I have always felt like defending Sonny Stitt from the Bird clone criticism because he was deeper than that but what can I say listening to this ? Drenched in Bird riffs, sound the whole enchilada. Well he's not on his own even on this record and he's young. Great job boys.

I literally filled the cargo area of my mini panel truck. He was out there in the garage expounding his theories of life to his captive audience (me)whilst I dug through the stacks, so I had to bite my lip when I found this. Record collecting can be pretty adventurous sometimes. The young Sonny Stitt sounded more like Bird than any normal human has a right to. Lion's Roar combines two of my favorite things- baritone sax features and and thick old-school reverb. Leo Parker rips it up on this. Thanks to Woody for putting the bebop back in the wino. I'm happy with the way this turned out- it had a lot of surface shine left, although there were a number of minor pops to work out- The Masked OneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
