Those Lee Friedlander covers are gorgeous. A must-have book is his 'American Musicians! Lee Friedlander Jazz Portraits Edit to add: you beat me to that Lester-Roy 'Laughin' to Keep from Cryin' cover!

A classic cover...

They were part of the Sonet Jazz Story reissues from a couple of years ago... The Stitt/Messengers CD had two added alternate tracks. Good way to start the Stitt road!

Saw that box a few months ago in a store here. The box could not be opened so I tried to get details. By the time I got them, the box was gone. Now tell me what kind of a mistake I made. Still have too few Komeda!

Sonny Stitt revelled in tenor confrontations. A favorite opponent was Gene Ammons. These duels have been pretty well documented. A favorite is the Verve album 'Boss Tenors in Orbit'. Other Stitt albums to look for are the Cobblestone/Muse sessions, 'Tune Up' and Constellation' in particular.

One to get - if you have not done so already - is the Philippe Sarde 'Princesses/Un Frere' CD from the same series. It is not part of the discounted discs. The music is played by John Lewis, Milt Jackson, Ron Carter and Wayne Shorter among others!
