Originally issued as Groovin’ High and Atlas Blues: “Blow! & Ballade” by Sonny Stitt And His West Coast Friends in 1980, these two releases are now combined to present the material recorded in July of that year with Stitt and Art Pepper on sax, Russ Freeman and Lou Levy on piano, bassists John Heard and Chuck DeMonico, and Carl Burnette on drums. Now as Art Pepper Presents “West Coast Sessions!” Volume 1: Sonny Stitt, those two releases are available again. In addition to a track found on 2001’s The Hollywood All-Star Sessions boxed set, this double CD also contains 3 previously unissued takes.
