Recorded for the Impulse! label in 1963 and very much underrated since, "Salt and Pepper" is an excellent pairing of tenors Sonny Stitt and Paul Gonsalves. Most of the album has the spontaneous feel of a live jam session where two great musicians pass the night trading licks.

This album came out of a series of three recording sessions by Sonny Stitt toward the end of 1959, and sees the jazz saxophonist delve into the world of blues.The album blends powerful original songs written by Stitt with a couple of standards that get new life breathed into them. Stitt plays alto sax exclusively on this release, which led to unfair comparisons at the time to Charlie Parker. This album has been out-of-print and almost impossible to find for many years, until now.
