3:33⅓ - The Giants of Jazz

I can’t say much about this record yet, I only know the tracks I’ve played on the radio. But on this one, “Everything Happens to Me” I get more of an idea why everyone is so gah gah about Sonny Stitt. There’s something really muscular and emotional about his playing, and that’s a hard combination to push out of a saxophone.
