SOURCE: the boolet from THE WAILER, which I picked up last year from one of those Red Trumpet sales. It's kinda weird - the logo for this series is a slice of watermelon...

There was also a series of 8 Prestige things released with VICJ prefixes advertised in the booklet as well, but since it took me forever to type these, I'll get to those later, unless some kind soul beats me to it.

Soony Stitt, eh, I've heard he's a pretty decent saxophonist.

[JSngry]

My bad. Of course, it's Sonny Stiits.
