Recorded: Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ Sept. 23, 1968

Personnel:
Sonny Stitt - Tenor Sax/Varitone
Don Patterson - Hammond B-3 Organ
Billy Butler - Guitar
Billy James - Drums

* The Varitone was an electric saxophone/devise
developed by H&A Selmer Inc., in 1965. In this 1968 recording Sonny Stitt makes use of the Varitone. It enabled a player to produce, among other effects, not merely his own sound, but the same sound an octave higher or lower. This "Octavizer" effect can be heard most clearly from 3:10 to 3:20.

tbh i can't really hear all that much diff in that song.

Wish I had sound at work...if I recall correctly, though, the effect is much more pronounced on the Terry record (as it should be, or the Varitone people would be pretty pissed).
