      Stitt had an amazing ear as he ingeniously weaves melodic perfection through each choral sequence with extemporaneous ease! The love for his creative art made him the ultimate saxophone great of his and any other Era! This creative genius has inspired and touched every jazz saxophonist after his departure!

      Yeah, and we still don't know, how could anyone dislike this! So it is kinda the question to solve ! To solve it let's ask youtube to make a complete (and mandatory) argumentation to accept one's dislike.

    of the rain drops trickling down fire escape ladder!
    Life could be so fine...
    Fine as Manischewitz wine!
    I used to walk, walk in the shade.
    With my blues on parade...
    But!(BUT!!)I'm not afraid!
    It's over... Casanova!
    If I never had one cent.

Many elements are the same but he was able to make stuff up like that on the fly! Listen to Lover on his live at the hi hat which is beyond human in dexterity.

    This is melodic history folks. You will never hear another player like Dizzy or Sonny play those amazing bebop lines in a solo with the smoothness and purpose they played in their day. What it takes to play like that is only achieved by three or four people that I know. Dizzy, Charlie, and Sonny. Julius 'Cannonball' Adderley is so close it's scary.

    Nothing better on youtube. Stitt was the Lone Wolf, the Frank Sinatra of the saxophone, at least 150 albums under his own name. And on the duels--with Jug, Jaws, Getz, Rollins or on alto with Pepper and Richie Cole--I give him the edge. He's the Art Tatum of the horn, not the Bird. And Diz, along with Bird, was the "game changer" (not Miles, who was more of a general manager of the music's course). It was Coltrane and Bill Evans who effected the next change in players' musical language.

      I think Miles really changed musical language but 15 years later, creating Jazz Rock music, that still exists.

    Man, I'm jealous, when they strated floating down the stream, I got lost in the woods. Great talent, I must say. I was still playing marbles when I first heard them during the late 50's. Then I never got the opp. to really learn music; play the guitar, but that's all.
