    The Bubba’s Sessions - Sonny Stitt

    Album Description

    Experience the final live performances of jazz legend Sonny Stitt with "The Bubba’s Sessions," a historic recording captured at Bubba's Jazz Restaurant on November 11, 1981. This album is a treasure trove of Sonny Stitt's virtuosity, featuring his last-ever live recordings, originally released on vinyl in 1983 and now reissued for the first time in four decades. The album spans a variety of jazz genres, including bebop, hard bop, cool jazz, and acid jazz, showcasing Stitt's versatility and mastery of the saxophone.

    Joined by fellow tenor saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, along with the dynamic rhythm section of Duffy Jackson on drums and Donn Mast on bass, Stitt delivers a powerful and energetic set. The album includes classic tracks like "Oh Lady Be Good," "What's New," and "There Is No Greater Love," as well as lesser-known gems that highlight Stitt's unique style and improvisational genius.

    About Sonny Stitt

    Sonny Stitt, born Edward Stitt in Boston and raised in Michigan, was a pioneering American jazz saxophonist renowned for his warm, distinctive tone and his mastery of the bebop and hard bop idioms. Nicknamed the "Lone Wolf" by jazz critic Dan Morgenstern, Stitt was known for his relentless touring and his preference for working with different musicians, rather than forming a permanent band. Initially, Stitt's style was compared to that of Charlie Parker, but he soon developed his own unique sound, particularly on the tenor saxophone. His extensive discography, featuring over 100 albums, showcases his versatility and innovation. Stitt's career spanned several decades, from establishing himself on the American jazz scene in the 1960s to making a significant impact on the UK jazz funk scene in the mid-1970s. He was also known for his sax duels with contemporaries like Dexter Gordon and Gene Ammons, further cementing his status as one of the finest bebop saxophonists of his era.
