Sonny Side Up

Album by Dizzy Gillespie & Sonny Stitt & Sonny Rollins

Sonny Side Up is a 1957 studio album credited to saxophonists Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt with prominent contributions from trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. Rooted in bebop and early hard bop, the record features extended improvisation, call-and-response exchanges and blues-inflected phrasing that illustrate the meeting of an established bebop trumpeter with leading tenor saxophonists of the 1950s, situating it as a representative collaboration within mid-century jazz.
First released: 1959
