Sonny Stitt help

[Hardbopjazz]

Back in 2010 I was given a cassette of a Sonny Stitt performance. In the 12 years since, I have not been able to identify the titles of these two numbers. I've asked a number of people, but the answers I got were not correct. Anyone here know the title of these two?

The first one is "Yesterdays".  The second is one of Stitt's favorite blues lick -- I don't know the exact title, but usually it's called "Deuces Wild".  Gene Ammons called it "New Sonny's Blues".

Have you tried Shazam? A bit shaky these days, but still tends to work for jazz.

That won’t work for a private recording.

I use Shazam on BFTs, once I've done the initial listening and "exhausted" all personal hunches/sleuthing. It works except for when it doesn't, which appears to be happening more and more, and not just for private recordings.

I mis read the post. My apologies.

I definitely think that the service is worse now. Presumably either some licensing arrangements have lapsed or recent advertising is getting in the way of core functionality.

Similar for Tomtom's and, I think, even for Google, which is noticeably worse at finding results than it was five years ago.

The blues is called "Deuces Wild."

I have it on a few CDs/
