Personal Appearance is a 1957 album by Sonny Stitt. [3]
The original Downbeat review by Ira Gitler awarded the album 5 stars. He wrote "In rating this album five stars, I do not mean to say it is a 'perfect' record. Timmons plays well, but this is Stitt's album, and he is tremendous. Sonny is all over both his horns, communicating directly and deeply. If you consider yourself a jazz lover, you should own this set."
