Sonny Stitt - Inter Action

Review by とがみ 源太郎

Inter Action is an exceptional jazz album by the legendary saxophonist Sonny Stitt. The album showcases Stitt's virtuosic skills and his ability to create a dynamic interplay with his fellow musicians. The album features a stellar line-up of musicians, including Barry Harris on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Roy Brooks on drums.

The album opens with the title track, "Inter Action," a fast-paced tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Stitt's saxophone playing is full of energy and passion, and he effortlessly weaves in and out of the melody with his improvisations. The rhythm section provides a solid foundation for Stitt's playing, and they showcase their own skills throughout the album.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Blue Devil Blues," a bluesy tune that features Stitt's soulful playing. The track is a perfect showcase for Stitt's ability to convey emotion through his saxophone playing. Another highlight is "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," a classic jazz standard that features Stitt's smooth and melodic playing.
