Sonny is really pulling out the Bird licks here! He may not have always wanted to be associated with Bird, but he was definitely influenced by him!

@hippyblood4 There's a comment below saying it's Walter Bishop on piano, apparently from a guy that owns the L.P.

[hippyblood4]

believe it or not...Chick Corea played with Sonny

[hippyblood4]

@ghairraigh the line up is un credited. but it could be Mance. I was thinking Bud Powell, but it is not him

my dad would lend his horn to sonny, when he would put his in hock. miles lived with my g/father so as a child i grew up listening to the "greats' jam in my g/fathers basement. very long story. Miles and i got tight and he gave me my 1st gig as an engineer..........writing a book soon. Point is. Stitt came closest to playing inside the "style" of Bird, as he had his own "sound"

@sergiopbn I guess you have the album...I had guessed it was Junior Mance on piano. Thanks!

@Vahayr Mingus called Charles McPherson 'the saxophonist of tomorrow'. To me, he is a top-three pick with Bird and Cannonball.

@beeshor1 Don't forget the man Mingus called 'the saxophonist of tomorrow', Charles McPherson, who is a top-three pick with Bird and Cannonball in my view. I must add Phil Woods for your consideration.

Rather than Cherokee, Stitt is playing "Constellation" by Charlie Parker. Just a wild guess, but could the pianist be Junior Mance?

Seriously, everyone else is unknown on the Album? Hard to believe.
