Title: SONNY STITT Only The Blues Review

In the grand scheme of things, Sonny Stitt may not be a household name like Miles Davis or John Coltrane, but don't let that fool you - this guy can blow a mean saxophone. His latest album, "Only The Blues," is a delightful romp through the world of, you guessed it, blues music.

From the moment the first notes of "Moanin'" hit your eardrums, you know you're in for a wild ride. Stitt's smooth and soulful playing effortlessly weaves in and out of the groovy bassline and snappy drums, creating a toe-tapping experience that is impossible to resist.

Tracks like "Blues for Yard" and "Easy Living" showcase Stitt's versatility as a musician, effortlessly switching between slow, moody ballads and fast-paced, energetic jams. Each note feels carefully crafted and thoughtfully placed, leaving you craving more with every listen.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Groovin' High," which features some seriously slick sax solos that will make even the most stoic jazz aficionado nod their head in approval. It's the kind of song that makes you want to grab a cocktail and dance the night away.

Overall, "Only The Blues" is a triumphant return to form for Sonny Stitt. With its infectious melodies and impeccable musicianship, this album is sure to please both die-hard jazz fans and casual listeners alike. So sit back, relax, and let the sweet sounds of Sonny Stitt wash over you. You won't regret it.
