One of the dozen or so albums that Sonny Stitt recorded during his time on the Prestige label was this boppish-sounding 1965 date that also featured organist Don Patterson and drummer Billy James.
Stitt, a disciple of Charlie Parker, contributed only two originals among the six songs on the album, one of which was Answering Service. The tune ran 4:40 on the LP but the MP3 below is a shortened version taken from a DJ 45. Click on the link to listen and download.
Answering Service
To hear the full version of Answering Service, buy the 2001 compilation CD Boss Men, jointly credited to Stitt and Patterson and which contains the complete Night Crawler LP. It's also available as a digital download.
