Having just finished reading the Stan Levey biography, I've been listening to some albums with Stan on drums. This playing by everyone on this album is unbelievable really, the highest level imaginable. And there was tension in the air at the session, too. Norman Granz deliberately brought Stan Levey and Sonny Stitt together for this record.  A few years earlier Stitt got a lesser jail sentence for himself by snitching on Levey (who wound up spending nearly 2 years in jail). All drug related, of course. Thankfully Levey got off drugs in prison and really straightened his life out. But there were fireworks in the studio that day, let me tell you.
