This 1957 album is considered one of Dizzy's best meetings with jazz greats Sonny Stitt and Sonny Rollins. It is rumored that Gillespie playfully pitted the two against each other before the session, raising the bar and creating an iconic album. Ray Bryant (piano), Tommy Bryant (bass) and Charlie Persip (drums) join Gillespie, Stitt and Rollins on four tracks that showcase two different approaches to the tenor saxophone. Stitt plunges headlong into "The Eternal Triangle" with fiery intensity, while Rollins counters with a more deliberate approach. Make no mistake though, the two trade blows throughout the set, leaving no doubt that both are heavyweight champions. Verve Records is proud to present Verve Vault - an analog vinyl reissue series. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl and housed in premium packaging, each track is mastered from the original master tapes by Ryan K. Smith of Sterling Sound. The series explores the rich catalogs of Verve, Impulse, Mercury and beyond, from Dizzy Gillespie's "Sonny Side Up" to Archie Shepp's "Four For Trane."
