Some strange sounds on this. Is that the dreaded Varitone? Still, Sonnys always worth a listen.

[@Usefulmusic]

The Varitone didn't appear until 1967. Maybe the recording date shown here is wrong??

[@F0nkyNinja]

Sounds like the Varitone, that things is awesome but Sonny didn't really use it to its fullest, instead using it as a base sound instead of an effect, which would have been more effective perhaps. (Pun not intended)

[@vova47]

I think date is wrong as well as personnel. Doesn't sound like Jimmy Jones, Ray Brown or Philly Joe. And it's live recording not a studio date. Still, always good to hear Sonny Stitt, Varitone or not.
