The record

Stitt is on tenor, with Bud Powell, Curly Russell, and Max Roach, and the album title puts Powell's name up beside the leader's rather than burying it in the credits. New Jazz issued it as a ten-inch, NJLP 103, in 1951. Eight titles, weighted toward songbook material -- 'Fine And Dandy', 'I Want To Be Happy', 'Strike Up The Band'.
