Sonny Stitt & Paul Gonsalves - Salt And Pepper (2011 Remaste torrent

Recorded September 5th 1963. This release 2011 on the Universal Analogue Productions hybrid SACD.

Review by Scott Yanow:
One of the underrated gems of the 1960s, an exciting matchup by tenors Sonny Stitt and Paul Gonsalves. Other than the brief throwaway \"Theme from Lord of the Flies\" (producer Bob Thiele\'s idea), this is very much a jam session set, with \"Salt and Pepper\" being a heated medium-tempo blues and the two competitive tenors stretching out on \"S\'posin\'\" and a lengthy \"Perdido.\" Actually, the most memorable selection from the date is the one on which Stitt switches to alto, \"Stardust.\" His beautiful playing behind Gonsalves\' warm melody statement raises the session to the classic level. Highly recommended to bebop and straight-ahead jazz fans.
