JSngry Posted October 26, 2018 Report Posted October 26, 2018 Stitt's BAAAAAD here. And that rhythm section...how often did Ray Brown team with Gus Johnson? But all taht, yes. But Sonny Stitt actually "clowns" a bit. And seems to be enjoying it! Who knew? Full clip here: Quote
Mark Stryker Posted October 27, 2018 Report Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Love the clip of 'Sunny Side of the Street." I think Stitt held Dizzy in such high regard that he really took care of biz when he was in his company. As fun as the vocal is -- so great to see Stitt having a ball -- where they put the beat while singing is DEEPLY swinging. Thanks for posting. Re: how often Brown and Johnson teamed.
