This 72-minute CD starts off with one of the underrated gems of the 1960s, an exciting matchup by tenors Sonny Stitt and Paul Gonsalves. Other than the brief throwaway "Theme from Lord of the Flies" (producer Bob Thiele's idea), this is very much a jam session set, with "Salt and Pepper" being a heated medium-tempo blues and the two competitive tenors stretching out on "S'posin'" and a lengthy "Perdido." Actually, the most memorable selection from the date is the one on which Stitt switches to alto, "Stardust." His beautiful playing behind Gonsalves' warm melody statement raises the session to the classic level. Also included on this consistently exciting CD is a Sonny Stitt quartet set originally titled Now! Although Stitt (doubling on alto and tenor) recorded scores of quartet sessions, he sounds particularly inspired here, especially on such offbeat material as "Estralita," the Dixieland standard "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone," and "My Mother's Eyes." Highly recommended to bebop and straight-ahead jazz fans. ~ Scott Yanow Producer: Bob Thiele; Michael Cuscuna (Reissue) Engineer: Rudy Van Gelder   Compilation Appearances Complete Cole Porter Songbooks Vol. 2-1968-71 Tenor Sax Ballads Vol. 5-Priceless Jazz Sampler Vol. 2-Original Jazz Legends Ken Burns Jazz Ken Burns Jazz Jazz For A Lazy Day Great Live Jazz (Live) Jazz For A Night On The Town Jazz For Romantic Moments Most Romantic Jazz Music In The Universe More of the Most Relaxing Jazz Music in the Universe Most Relaxing Jazz Standards In The Universe Most Of The Most Romantic Jazz Music Jazz From When You're Not Alone Most Relaxing Jazz Piano Music In The Universe Basquiat's Journey Through Jazz Prestige Profiles Prestige Profiles Original Jazz Legends Series Vol 03 House That Trane Built: Story of Impulse Records Jazz Time:olympia Oct 11 1960 Simply Smooth Jazz Simply Jazz Jazz On A Summer Day Courage:atlantic Recordings(Limited Edition) Very Best Of Prestige (Prestige 60Th   Associated Artists and Works Boss Tenors: Straight Ahead From Chicago 1961 ~ Ammons, Gene We'll Be Together Again ~ Ammons, Gene Ammons, Gene God Bless Jug & Sonny ~ Ammons, Gene Boss Tenors in Orbit!
