Sonny Stitt Saxophone Solos
Sonny Stitt has often been unfairly referred to as an excellent imitator of Charlie Parker. In fact he developed his own style, and when he and Parker met in 1943 they were both amazed by the similarity in their approach to soloing. He was equally fluent on Alto, Tenor and Baritone Sax, and had his own distinctive sound. This book will help you understand his style, and improve your own playing through careful study of his solos. The book features a biography and table of abbreviations. Includes note-for-note transcriptions of the following solos. It Could Happen to You
