Sonny Stitt Plays (also referred to as Sonny Stitt, Sonny Stitt, Sonny Stitt, Sonny Stitt, Sonny Stitt) is an album by saxophonist Sonny Stitt recorded in 1955 and originally released on the Roost label

Sonny Stitt (born Edward Hammond Boatner Jr.; February 2, 1924 – July 22, 1982) was an American jazz saxophonist of the bebop/hard bop idiom. Known for his warm tone, he was one of the best-documented saxophonists of his era, recording over 100 albums. He was nicknamed the "Lone Wolf" by jazz critic Dan Morgenstern because of his tendency to rarely work with the same musicians for long despite his relentless touring and devotion to the craft. - Wikipedia

Detroit–New York Junction is an album by American jazz trumpeter Thad Jones recorded on March 13, 1956 and released on Blue Note.

The recording session was one of Tommy Flanagan's first recording sessions after he moved to New York City in 1956, and came one day after the pianist played with the same rhythm section for a Blue Note session led by Kenny Burrell.

AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine called Detroit–New York Junction "an excellent set of driving hard bop" - Wikipedia
