Stitt is credited on alto, tenor and baritone across these eight standards, which is the reason to pick it up -- one player covering three horns. The rhythm section is listed as uncredited and carries two bassists, three pianists and two drummers, Art Blakey and Junior Mance among them. Prestige PRLP 111, a 1951 ten-inch.
