lesterperkins Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 Today would been Sonny's birthday. Heres a 20 video tribute to one of the greatest saxophone players and jazz musicians who ever lived. Enjoy! http://www.jazzonthetube.com/videos/sonny-stitt/happy-birthday-sonny-stitt.html Quote
Joe Bip Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 Sonny Stitt makes an appearance in that barometer of mass culture, Hi and Lois. How many people Chip's age know of Sonny? Pretty impressive for a character in a daily strip! Quote
Shrdlu Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 Thanks for posting that, Lester! What a fabulous collection of videos, Sonny in his prime. I met him when he was touring with the "Giants of Jazz". Rabbit had recently died, and he said he was sad to see him go. That lineup didn't really gel (as predicted by Art Blakey), and these videos are far better. Quote
