Soul Electricity! is an album by saxophonist Sonny Stitt recorded in 1968 and released on the Prestige label.[1] The album features Stitt using the varitone, an electronic amplification device which altered the saxophone's sound.[2]
Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating: "The album gets its name because for this session, Stitt plugged his alto and tenor saxophones into a Varitone attachment. What came out, though, was not fusion by any means, but a pretty straight-ahead session that found Sonny his usual competent self. The program is actually on the conservative side, leaning toward standards".[3]
