Sonny Criss's first Imperial release recorded in 1956 featuring Sonny Criss on Alto Sax, Kenny Drew on piano, Barney Kessel on guitar, Bill Woodson on bass and Chuck Thompson on drums. The tunes, recorded in Los Angeles, CA, January 26, 1956, February 24th and March 23rd 1956, include "Sweet Georgia Brown", "These Foolish Things", "Something's Gotta Give", "Willow Weep for Me" among others. Cut from the original MONO master tapes played back on a full track MONO head through an all tube MONO cutting chain including a pure mono cutter head - as it was originally and should be! This is an extremely collectible record in its original issue and impossible to find in any condition. Authentic tip on jacket and labels make this reissue hard to distinguish from one you could have bought in 1956. This initial release is part of the Classic Sonny Criss Imperial Series which will include two of Sonny's other Imperial Recordings: "Go Man" - LP 9020, and "Play's Cole Porter" - LP 9024 both of which are forthcoming in 2005.
