AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Soul in the Night offered up Chicago's famous muscular jazz sound by two of its masters... Stitt and Green wrap their saxes around a tune, exploring gritty and fluid possibilities. The album's stereo version gives each player his own spotlight, as Stitt has one speaker and Green has the other to himself". [4]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Sonny Stitt</span> American jazz saxophonist (1924–1982)

Sonny Stitt 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 generation, recording more than 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. Stitt was sometimes viewed as a Charlie Parker mimic, especially earlier in his career, but gradually came to develop his own sound and style, particularly when performing on tenor saxophone and even occasionally baritone saxophone.
