Released in 1959 on Verve Records, Sonny Side Up is widely celebrated as one of the most explosive, fiercely competitive "cutting sessions" in jazz history. Recorded in December 1957 by producer Norman Granz, the album brings together bebop architect Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet with two legendary tenor saxophonists: a peak-era Sonny Rollins and the lightning-fast Sonny Stitt. Backed by a driving rhythm section of Ray Bryant (piano), Tommy Bryant (bass), and Charlie Persip (drums), the LP captures a friendly but relentless battle for tenor supremacy.
