It features seven familiar Duke Ellington songs. Saxophonist Sonny Stitt was a disciple of Charlie Parker. This record is one of the stronger and more detailed records in Stitt's discography, with Stitt employing a string section (The Bill Finegan String Ensemble). It's not surprising that Stitt maintained the same approach to strings as Charlie Parker did a decade prior, with his sax soaring above them rather than being held down by them. Sonny Stitt (on alto and tenor) is also joined by a fine rhythm section featuring pianist Gildo Mahones, bassist Allen Jackson and Clarence Johnston on drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake the \"A\" Train\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Prelude to a Kiss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cotton Tail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In a Sentimental Mood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In a Mellow Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jeep's Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50553911214354,"sku":"730167333085","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/tribute-to-duke-ellington-with-strings-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
