These are Sonny Stitt's last ever live recordings (from Bubba's Jazz Restaurant, November 11, 1981). Bubba's stage had been the place of so many historical jazz recordings. This concert was first issued in 1983, and now sees it's first official reissue in four decades; a homage to the late Sonny Stitt who passed away in 1982. Pressed on heavyweight translucent crystal colour vinyl.

Recorded on October 11, 1980, this is the very first "Bubba's Live" recording. The evening celebrated Art Blakey's birthday and showcased one of the youngest and most talented lineups of the Jazz Messengers, featuring 18-year-old trumpet prodigy Wynton Marsalis. Listen to hard bop brilliance from one of the world's most iconic jazz venues.
