The record
Stitt is credited on alto, tenor and baritone, which is the whole argument of the title. A compilation, and a crowded one: Art Blakey, Shadow Wilson and Teddy Stewart across the drum chair, Kenny Drew and Junior Mance among four pianists, Joe Newman among three trumpets. Twelve tracks, "Cherokee" to "Cool Mambo." Prestige, 1957, remastered by Rudy Van Gelder, notes by Ira Gitler.
