A great piece for someone looking for it something non-blistering in speed. Lovely melody. I actually find it hard to find alto jazz material because the big name alto players tend to play extremely quickly. There is actually another Stitt recording of this that has much more complicated (Bird-like) phrasing.
something about the way he pops that A out in bar 8, love it.
Love Stitt-just so melodic with those killer double time lines
Fabulous, was looking for one on this tune !
You're welcome!!! Not the most accurate but I'm getting better :O

also Lou Donaldson, Art Pepper, Sonny Criss, Johhny Hodges :)
Very surprised by a high F# at 14:12 from a chromatic approach , Stitt really plays a natural F , on a substituted Gm7
Master-is correct
