{"product_id":"tribute-to-duke-ellington-with-strings","title":"TRIBUTE TO DUKE ELLINGTON - WITH STRINGS","description":"A Tribute to Duke Ellington (originally released as Sonny Stitt With Strings) showcases Stitt's long-out-of-print Catalyst jazz record from 1977. It features seven familiar Duke Ellington songs. Saxophonist Sonny Stitt was a disciple of Charlie Parker. This record is one of the stronger and more detailed records in Stitt's discography, with Stitt employing a string section (The Bill Finegan String Ensemble). It's not surprising that Stitt maintained the same approach to strings as Charlie Parker did a decade prior, with his sax soaring above them rather than being held down by them. Sonny Stitt (on alto and tenor) is also joined by a fine rhythm section featuring pianist Gildo Mahones, bassist Allen Jackson and Clarence Johnston on drums.","brand":"GOOD TIME","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":52377900187928,"sku":"730167333085","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4177615-2940323.jpg?v=1783452653","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/tribute-to-duke-ellington-with-strings","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
