Not the live record from Ronnie Scott's nor the recording done just a year before his death but another record with the same title.
This blog has always been about the music I love with no pretensions towards rare or obscure recordings. I'm pretty sure the sessions on this very short release have been available elsewhere but this seems to be the only examples I have in my collection.
Clocking in at a mere half hour, my first exposure to these recordings were a cassette tape most likely purchased at a 7-11 type joint for 2 bucks when that was a more common occurrence. Needless to say I had only dim fond recollections of the music when I ran across this lp at a flea market a couple of weeks ago. Not the best sounding recording but now I have another 2 dollars wrapped up so I thought I would share. And I fing I still dig the title tune as much as I remember.
Not a lick of info on the sleeve but that's where completists and other record geeks come in. Your turn to shine. Fill us in if you can.

Awesome stuff! I always liked this label because they seemed to scoop up the obscure and unissued/ignored sessions; they would put out anything. This is a pretty great session, and I notice at the end of the last cut ("Sonny's Blues") that Stitt gets his Eddie Harris on with some electric sax! Thanks Hook!
