The Story
| Release Date | 12/07/2024 |

| Label | Verve |
| Catalogue Number | 4651245 |
Though some critics foolishly tried to label Sonny Stitt as a Charlie Parker clone, Stitt certainly kept them quiet on this 1959 date. Stitt’s originals, like the slow and powerful “Morning After Blues”, come off as fresh-sounding as executed by this quartet of Lou Levy, Mel Lewisand Leroy Vinnegar. Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.

2. Home Free Blues
3. Blue Prelude
4. Frankie And Johnny
