    it's got a fantastic sound (At least f*#king 10 words must be entered)

  • Speakers Corner's Excellent Reissue

    5 out of 5 stars
    KImnIKnEgUAugust 3, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Speakers Corner's pressing is absolutely fantastic. If you've experienced their audiophile mastering and quality pressings before, you'll see this LP is up to their usual high standards. The sound is fantastic, and it's a great reissue.

  • First Sonny Stitt Impression

    Suldetl.K.January 15, 2025United States🇺🇸

    First Sonny Stitt album I've picked up. Fantastic copy, zero pops or ticks here.

  • Speakers Corner's Standard Upgrade

    4 out of 5 stars
    mayeaxgawek35December 23, 2024United States🇺🇸

    I noticed Speakers Corner re-released this a few years ago, which I always found a bit strange since this is a decent but pretty standard album... this is a solid late '70s pressing. I'm a big fan of Speakers Corner, though... not entirely convinced it's worth splurging on an "upgrade" myself.

  • Stitt's Byrd Tribute Shines

    5 out of 5 stars
    GifybLejxApril 5, 2024United States🇺🇸

    A must-have album in Sonny Stitt's collection. Fantastic homage to Byrd. As for this version of MOCD, it's worth noting that the sax has a slightly piercing tone, but overall, the sound quality is quite good.

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.
