Duets is a 1958 album by American jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie featuring Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt, recorded in 1957 and released on the Verve label. The recordings on this album are from the same sessions and with the same personnel that produced the Sonny Side Up album which had Sonny Stitt and Sonny Rollins playing simultaneously with Dizzy Gillespie. On the Duets album, as the name implies, Sonny Stitt and Sonny Rollins played separately with Dizzy Gillespie.^[2]
