The record

A 78 rather than an LP, two shellac sides from early in the Prestige catalog. The disc carries two different billings, Sonny Stitt And His Orchestra and the Sonny Stitt Quartet, so the same tenor player is heard fronting two differently sized groups. No sidemen are documented, which makes this one for people chasing the pre-LP Prestige numbers more than for listeners. Prestige 739.
