Sonny Stitt

Sonny Stitt was an American jazz musician known for his skill on the alto and tenor saxophone. Born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1924, he made a name for himself in the 60's jazz scene before gaining recognition in the UK jazz funk scene during the mid-70's. Prior to these recordings, Sonny Stitt played with Tiny Bradshaw's band in the 40's.

Although he passed away in Washington, D.C. in 1982, Sonny Stitt's music continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world. His contributions to jazz will always be remembered and cherished.
