Joe Fields, who worked as an executive at Prestige Records, established the jazz record label Muse Records in 1972 with Don Sehlitten, who was a famous producer at Prestige Records.
This album, Sonny Stitt "12!", was planned and sold as the first release of Muse Records.
This unique song title "12!", which was the album title, was a blues song composed by Stitt, and it was said that the producer Don Sehlitten gave it, but the session date was December 12 1972, and the blues was in the 12-bar format.
