Sonny Stitt

• 2 ORIGINAL ALBUMS ON 1 CD

Presented here for the first time on a single set are two brilliant Sonny Stitt LPs showcasing him in a Latin mood: Primitivo Soul and Stitt Goes Latin. While Stitt is given the spotlight as the sole horn on the former album (which has never previously appeared on CD), the latter LP features him in a larger setting.

Backing the saxophonist on this CD are such stars as Chick Corea, Ronnie Matthews, Willie Bobo, and Carlos “Patato” Valdés.
