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.
His unique style and virtuosity on both saxophones set him apart from other musicians of his time. Influenced by artists such as Dexter Gordon, Phil Woods, and Gene Ammons, Stitt created a sound that was all his own.
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.

The name Sonny Stitt should be familiar to those that love jazz. Stitt was an important architect in the language of bebop and was an avid disciple of Charlie Parker, playing both alto and tenor from the 1950s to the early 1980s. Lone Wolf collects the best alternate takes that Sonny recorded for Roost between the years 1952-1957, all of which are making their debut on vinyl. This record features brand new artwork with Francis Wolff photographs and liner notes from jazz producer Michael Cuscuna. It is pressed on 180 Gram black vinyl at Record Industry and come in a single pocket tip-on jacket; similar to the classic jazz albums released in the 1950s and 60s.
