Recorded a little over a week after the sessions which produced DUETS, SONNY SIDE UP brings tenor saxophonists Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt together on the same bandstand so to speak, with trumpeter Gillespie acting as the brass referee. The chemistry between these two saxophone giants is most keenly felt on Stitt's swift, jabbing composition "The Eternal Triangle," where a series of Parkerish changes and melodic ideas forms the basis for one fiery solo after another. Gillespie is in a particularly feisty mood, concluding his racehorse solo with some melodic fireworks before giving way to pianist Bryant and engaging drummer Charlie Persip in a rhythmic duel. The standard "I Know That You Know" is a given a similarly rigorous workout, enlivened by Stitt's stop time intro, and Gillespie's upper-register flurries. The opening ballad "On The Sunny Side Of The Street" is the kind of relaxed vehicle that whets a jazzman's appetite to blow, while Avery Parish's classic "After Hours" provides a wonderful opportunity for great blues players to really dig down deep and strut their stuff. Dizzy's solo here is a stunning example of his blues mastery.   Compilation Appearances Voodoo Complete Cole Porter Songbooks Complete Jazz At The Philharmo Girl From Ipanema-Jobim Songb Complete Gershwin Songbooks Wave-The Antonio Carlos Jobim Jazz Wedding Album Vol. 1-Adventures Of Bread & B Bebop Singers Masters Of Jazz Sampler Talented Mr. Ripley Instrumental History Of Jazz Romantic Jazz Ken Burns Jazz-Story Of America Ken Burns Jazz Ken Burns Jazz Jazz Live From New York Usa All Stars In Berlin 1955 Cool Jazz For Hot Nights / Various Harlem Saturday Night Classic Jazz Jazzlegends Savoy Sampler Savoy At 60 Stardust Collection (Limited Edition) Best Of Jazz Birth Of Be Bop Most Relaxing Jazz Music In The Universe Bop Lives American Splendor Verve Unmixed 2 Nicky's Jazz For Kids Nea Jazz Masters Panorama: trumpet Prism Divine Lady Of Song A-Z Encyclopedia Of Ja696 Jazz Bar Vol 2 This Is The Dirty Doz0405 Big Band Swing Basquiat's Journey Through Jazz Impulsive Complete Verve Remixed (Deluxe Edition) (Bonus Tracks) Re-bop: The Savoy Remixes 20 Best Of Jazz (Dig) Gitanes Jazz: Jazz Bossa Nova Cafe Jazz Simply Jazz Jazz In The City 25 Best:jazz Legends Bossa Friends Bird In Time:1940-1947 Lift Every Voice Honoring The African Everything I Have Is Yours   Associated Artists and Works Artists, Various The Gifted Ones ~ Basie, Count Byas, Don Carter, Benny After Hours ~ Christian, Charlie Cobb, Arnett Eckstine, Billy Eldridge, Roy Jazz Maturity ~ Eldridge, Roy Verve Jazz Masters 25 ~ Getz, Stan Getz, Stan Getz, Stan Dedicated To Diz ~ Hampton, Slide Hidalgo, Giovanni Horn, Shirley Lilian Terry Piano Jazz With Dizzy Gillespie ~ McPartland, Marian The Weapon / At Home and Abroad ~ Newman, David "Fathead" Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Diz 'N Bird At Carnegie Hall ~ Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Peterson, Oscar Peterson, Oscar Peterson, Oscar Raeburn, Boyd Roach, Max Stuff Smith/Dizzy Gillespie/Oscar Peterson ~ Smith, Stuff Stuff Smith/Dizzy Gillespie/Oscar Peterson ~ Smith, Stuff (Jazz) Terry, Lilian Torme, Mel The Trumpet Kings Meet Joe Turner ~ Turner, Big Joe Turner, Big Joe Various Artists Various Artists   Technical Info Release Date : 07/29/1997 Original Release Date : 1958 Catalog ID : 521 426 Label : Verve (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 37m : 37s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Mono SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00731452142627    Product Image
