General opinion has it that Sonny Stitt always
stood in Charlie Parker?s shadow. That, however,
is unjustifiable. The legendary jazz critic Nat
Hentoff wrote, for example: ?Sonny has been one of
the wholly involved players, well known and
admired for his soul and the earthiness of his
message only by musicians who feel and play like
he does and by that part of the jazz audience that
is most moved by naked, open emotion. He has made
his mark with them as an honest yea-sayer who
can?t help but play what he knows and feels.? The
present recording is proof of this ? a session
which shouldn?t really have worked out so well.
Sonny Stitt?s alto saxophone presides over a
seven-man-strong brass group, and although the
prospect of a Sonny Stitt big band does not sound
too promising initially, this rendezvous is really
enjoyable, thanks in part to Stitt?s superb
solos. At this time he was on the top of his form
and he plays freely over the basis provided by the
brass section consisting of Blue Mitchell, Jimmy
Cleveland and Willie Ruff. The arrangements by
Tadd Dameron and Jimmy Mundy are closely-knit yet
offer enough room for swing and a generous pinch
of soul. Special highlights are contributed by the
unknown, female organist Perri Lee ?, little
groovy additions that are really successful and
infuse the arrangements with a slender sound and
sparkle. Although 'Sonny Stitt & The Top Brass'
may not stand in the limelight like 'Boss Tenors'
or 'Salt And Pepper', it is certainly on a par
with these from an artistic point of view.
