The beautiful thing is that,no matter how many notes come out of one of Sonny's rapid flurries, he means every single one of them.
Remember Sonny Stitt from a child. His Mother was gifted in her own right! One of the Greatest Saxophone Artist I ever heard.
Glad I had the privilege to not only know him, but to 'hang' out with him on many occasions. One of the best ever!
Amazing!!
@ Pepper Williams. I just started listening to Sunny. What an amazing talent. I'm hooked.

Sonny, left us such a magnificent musical legacy of the most beautiful alto,tenor and on occasion baritone saxophone, that will last to the end of creation. Sonny tone is so beautiful, so pure,his style of every single note counts it sets him apart from many other musicians.Recording over a hundred albums.Sonny Stitt aka Lone Wolf belongs at the top of his class in the Jazz hall of Fame.Thank you my brother the world is a better place because of your eloquently beautiful music.RIP Lone Wolf!!!!
There aren't enough words in the entire universe to describe the eloquent delivery of this wonderful musician.
He is so great!😮
My name is Lance Parker I'm from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania I met Sonny Stitt when I was 17 years old the University of Pittsburgh jazz lecture with dr. Nathan Davis after the lecture Sonny Stitt and I became very good friends that night he ate dinner at my home in Squirrel Hill my grandmother made spaghetti chicken steak in Sunny became great friends with me I was studying with Jerome Levine from Carnegie Mellon University the saxophone studying classical saxophone two days a week but after I have to say after I met Sonny my life changed I began going on the road with him to Buffalo Rochester Columbus Cincinnati went to Columbus and played it a place called The Taj Mahal in The High Chaparral with greats such as Jimmy Smith Abraham laboriel Kenny Clark Monty Alexander Don Patterson Louis Hayes slide Hampton jaki byard and many more over the various cities I stayed in the hotel with him can go out onto the gigs with him in the evenings he would bring me up the last half an hour to play with him up on stage but during the day we would go to the conference room so the hotels and that's where he would teach me what he taught me was the craft that is unbelievable not only do I have improvisational skills but he taught me how to play a big fat tone on the tenor saxophone like Coleman Hawkins and Euston person and also himself those big fluffy sub tones in the lower register big fat sounds in 1978 he gave me his Mark 7 tenor saxophone which I played all my life which he cherry-picked at Elkhart Indiana at the summer Factory where he sat down with over 20 horns over 6 hours and picked a worn-out that is the horn that I have cherry-picked Mark 7 tenor saxophone that Sonny Stitt hand-picked he also gave me his 1938 busher Biggby alto saxophone which I have to this day over the years I played various mouthpieces but I have finally settled on a Bobby dukoff Nine Star metal mouthpiece with a number 3 Rico Royal Reed I am 64 years old now and can still remember every job and gig that I went to and studied with him at the hotels during the day at night in the middle of the night I would hear the bag ruffle with his Nikolai vodka where he would take his ships during the night Sonny Stitt had a virtuoso of the saxophone in my opinion as good as Charlie Parker and in some ways could be possibly even better because of this commanding sound in cutting-edge patterns I thank God everyday of the memories that I have of going on the road with the great Sonny Stitt and him teaching me how to play I still play to this day and I'm a very well-known saxophone player in the Greater Pittsburgh area and 1976 when I was 19 years old I want a nationwide contest at Cedar Point amusement park to play in their big Bicentennial show America Sings Cedar Point auditioned all over the United States New York Los Angeles Chicago Detroit Pittsburgh I was cherry-picked to be the tenor saxophone player for the show where we played music from the 40s 50s 60s and 70s over the years I've played with many famous people in many shows and 446 years off and on with the great Jimmy Sapienza and five guys named Moe from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania I play now is Series 3 Model 64 tenor saxophone but I'm getting ready to get Sonny stitts 1978 Selmer Mark 7 tenor saxophone overhauled shortly with ostrich beds once it's done that will be the horn that I will continue to play as I played it for over 25 years it's a monster instrument and with a Nine Star metal mouthpiece Bobby Duke off the sounds absolutely fantastic most of the great musicians who were famous that I played with are all dead now but my memory lives on forever it was something that everybody in the world would have wished that they could have done but I did to travel with the great jazz legend Sonny Stitt and be his student this is Lance Parker from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania one thing I learned in order to be a great saxophone player you must practice 325 hours a day for years study classical saxophone and technique and then also do jazz and improvisation technique also the best way to do it is 3 hours of classical training through different books such as the Gustavo Rosary book the Klose book and Lennie niehaus Jazz studies book study 3 hours classical in 2 hours Jazz do it for years and you too can become a great saxophone player nothing is easy that's for sure again God bless the great Sonny Stitt my dear friend and teacher
THAT was a mouthful...U gotta be one of dem last vestiges of The Beat Poetz ...Kerouac, Ginsberg (whom I once met) et all. Hatred & love 4 commas & stops is a form of existential revolt, said Camus. 1 of the most memorable wordages on the platform evvuuhh to my eye. Congrats. But time is short, we re entering the tribulation within daysszzzz. And mankind snoors in materialistic, self-evading ecstasy of a vituperative denouement. Greetings from near the arctic circle. That s where they said Valhalla is situated ..
How beautiful and special. I love Sonny's sound. I'm envious you got to learn from him and get to know him! What sorts of exercises did he suggest for tone? What was his general demeanor like as a person and teacher? Thanks for sharing
Stitt is one of my fave sax players of all time - a GOAT for sure
Sonny Stitt, always a joy, had the real pleasure of seeing him live many times in the 60s. Treasured memories.
There was Bird. ...and there was Sonny Stitt. -right up there with the greatest.
I didn’t think I was a fan of jazz but this man is changing my mind! 😮
He will do that!
This is just beautiful. I love the lineup! My heroes!! Especially Blakey, and Monk! I was honored to meet Art and hang out with him a bit!!
Stitt is a total bebop master.
Thank you for sharing this video!

Fantastic! Sonny Stitt’s masterpiece!!
So very lyrical. This dude had a very mystical quality to his soloing. One of my favorite jazz dudes. Listen to those lines at yhe end of this piece. Damn.
Robert Boone About the best altoist! The golden trio for me is mr Stitt, Charlie Parker and Frank Morgan, by a long shot! Dig & Cheers!
@@ronaldunkel2681 I'd like to throw Art Pepper and Johnny Hodges into the mix here too
@@arrymyers Of course, and you’re correct they are among the very greatest. Be well & Cheers!
Like catching lighting in a bottle. Incredible video and upload
This really is the very best version of a truly wonderful tune. Thank you so much for making it available to people who love music and in particularly gorgeous music.
Electronically the sax looks on fire,how symbolic!!
Hia coda is an immeasurable treasure!!!
What an outstanding group of legends playing together . Love this!
Tellement magnifique ! J'adore Sonny Stitt !
...every time I happen to listen to him, something happens to my soul !
Just amazing. How coud it be possible to gather so much talents at the same place and time! Unthinkable in present time.
Respect and RP for all of them
Caught him at The Village Vanguard in the early ‘70’s. Memorable performance

Blakey, Monk, Gillespie et Stitt together, just insane !!!!
I remember Kai Winding. My mom had an album by Kai.
Mr. Stitt played his horn so tenderly.
This might be one of my favorites! Wow, so amazing.
Thanks for sharing and sending this beautiful video with Sonny Stitt i Tivoli København
I saw him perform with the
Got to see this band a couple of times - the "Giants of Jazz" tour.
All legendary musicians.
Fantastic sound, execution and soaring improvisation. Went into the DownBeat Hall of Fame the same time as Gene Ammons in 2012. So well deserved!!
Man oh man...that was beautiful!
When I hear him play…it’s like being in heaven🥰
Beautiful Tone , technical ability , a wealth of ideas Master Musician

Giant of the jazz Sonny Stitt..
It's Great
Fantastic
Sonny, unique unforgettable eternal
今から、50年前の演奏、素晴らしい、見事なアドリブでした。最高ですね。👏
Pure Soul Lady Stitt! SS proclaimed Don't call me Brid in a Downbeat Article from the 1950's. A LINE UP to die for! Outstanding performance at Tivoli where I last visited in 2003 where my Bro who resides in Copenhagen and our wives, at the time, dined. ;-)
Working on Sonny Stitt's choruses is like a masterclass on its own. As an alto sax, he was familiar with Bird's vocabulary and grammar. And its impeccable phrasé can be followed like a melody.
I had tickets for Monk's last concert but he died first. OK, OK, yes. I'm old. I missed Sonny but got to see Dizzy a couple of times along with OP, Cannonball, Getz, MJQ, the other Sonny (Rollins)...
The Master!!
Had the pleasure of hearing Sonny playing this at Figeros in Chicago about 1966. Wonderful experience! Met my future wife at the same time.
Nobody owns this song like S.Stitt
Bravo!!!
C'est un son adorable. Merci....
Unfortunately we had a concert that night ,but I met hin later in Jazzclub Montmartre. He was a great inspiration.
Sonny Stitt, le saxophoniste que j'aimerais pouvoir égaler. Quel lyrisme ! je rêve.
Sonny Stitt, and unsung, jazz musician. From Philadelphia.
This is a great group of jazz musicians presenting a outstanding rendition of this jazz tune. I did see all of these musicians play in person!!
So lucky the audience to go home and maybe dream about this
Wonderful! Thanks!
What a sensuous playing. one of a kind man .
Maestro!!! Sonny Stitt!!! Tremendo!!!!
love this
A great player.....and I;ll say it Best sax player ever
Being mainly a guitar player, there is a handful of players whom I have listened to extensively and can recognize almost instantly..... Sonny Stitt is the only horn player on that list. He is just so smooth and inflective and then throws in those stabbing staccato lines. I bought Stitt's "acid jazz" album for fifty cents while living in Chicago because the cover caught my eye. Between Stitt and Melvin Sparks' guitar playing it is the best purchase I ever made and it changed the way I heard music forever.
Monk, Dizzy, Kai, Sonny, Art all the same recording! Come on now!
When God created man, he created Sonny Stitt
Wonderful🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰
It's most unexpected to hear a jazz legend, such as Monk, comping heavily and right on the beat with no swing at all. Even when he comps in half notes, he plays on beats 2 and 4.
he had a mental condition.
it was clearly intentional, and incredible
Maybe it was at Sonny's request. Don't forget, Monk had no solo in this.
Thanks for the post Enjoyed it Thoroughly~
Absolutely marvelous...
The amazing Sonny Stitt
Love these Cats, yes indeed they are very special...Masters of the Art 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Dam that was Good
Magnifico!
Wunderschöne Melodiebögen. Und Monk, der ihn sanft vorwärtsdrängt.
😊😊😊
love the palying of sonny...
the master
I love me some Sonny Stitt!
Awesome!
ALL GIANTS!!!
Merci beaucoup
Esto es hermoso!!! 🎷❤️
What happened to talents like these? How come we don't have them anymore?
While nobody truly compares with these legends, there are still a lot of fantastic players who are disciples of these guys who are still playing. Guys like Wynton and Branford Marsalis, Javon Jackson, Robin Eubanks, Terence Blanchard, Benny Green, Billy Pierce, etc. all worked with Art Blakey. Christian McBride worked with Cedar Walton, Elvin Jones and Jimmy Cobb. Kenny Garrett worked with Miles Davis. Steve Davis worked with both Jackie McLean AND Art Blakey. The torch was passed and these guys are still passing the torch to the next generation of cats. That's what makes this art form so great!
The talent still exists, but jazz is less popular now, so you have to look harder for it. People like Ben Wendel are, I’d argue, just as revolutionary and talented as Sonny Stitt (not a knock on Stitt), but there’s just less demand for that talent. I wouldn’t be surprised if in 70 years, Ben Wendel is viewed in a similar light as Sonny Stitt is today in the jazz community. I’m optimistic that the 2020s will see an increase in the popularity of jazz alongside an increase in demand for live music across genres.
