Sonny Stitt
Regarded at first as a lesser Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt carved out a memorable
career on the saxophone with a confrontational, inventive style that matured
into a rich understanding of both sizzling bebop and classic ballads. He enjoyed
musical duels with fellow artists and had the gift of being an entertainer who
loved to engage and please audiences. Over dozens of recordings, he played a
formative role in the development of modern jazz and played with all the top
jazz stars of his era including Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk and Miles
Davis.
