The record
Two sides of shellac and no room to waste any of it: Sonny Stitt takes Cherokee at the tempo that tune invites and lets Imagination be the breather. Art Blakey is on drums, Junior Mance at the piano, Eugene Wright on bass -- a rhythm section you would not expect to find on a 78 from 1951. Prestige 733.
