Sonny Stitt is unbelievable- one of the absolute greatest players to ever pick up a saxophone and awesome on alto, tenor and baritone equally!

can never forget one of the few times I heard him live swinging the Texas tenors (Jacquet, Cobb & Tate, with Eddie Jones on bass and Ray Bryant on piano) at the Nice JVC Jazz festival, I believe it was in 1983. He was one of the greatest swing drummers ever , and did not get all the recogintion he deserved, despite his illustrious career.

This is back when people had real talent

sonny stitt on tenor is something else

See Gus & Dizzy smiling a each other round 50 seconds, & how they just beam? They say it all without a word. "We're HERE, Brother!" There's a level of something being reached here that never had been and may never be again. I'm glad I can see and hear it. They're gone but they achieved and created something timeless. It's amazing. They were giants, & I don't think that's hype. Thanks for your time..

Sonny Stitt left a mark so high that nobody will probably ever come anywhere near that in terms of sheer swing and soul, not to mention a technique and facility on all of the saxophones that is magnificent. Sonny could WAIL on the blues in any key and in any tempo. Young players should really take note of this amazing master musician.

Yes, indeed he was amazing....The great Gus Johnson who played drums with the famous Jay McShann Orchestra with Charlie Parker in 1939-40 and then with Basie. I was lucky enough to hear him playing like crazy in the mid 1980s in Nice, France while on tour with Lionel Hampton.

i've listened to this 20 times in a week and still get the chills

God dam Stitt is absolute fire on this

Ray killing that bass.

This is the difference between blowing a lot of notes and actually having something to SAY. Technique, phrasing, ideas, sound, feel. Check the finger placement. Stitt has it all. An underacknowledged master.

Look, I play saxophone, and I think that solo is absolutely phenomenal. But I think everybody who watched this can appreciate the bassist. Wow!

absolutely smoking' and swinging from here to Timbuktu and back again - everyone staying cool and calm but just killing' it. Very very few can play this way now, please -- let's keep this music alive forever.

Gus Johnson is driving the snot out of those guys! Cool watching his left hand keep time.

Sonny-my favorite. Monster -his transcriptions are like the 'Bach" of Jazz. This is one of the best bands I've ever heard.

Absolutely magnificent. It won't be any better! Thank you gentlemen. Wherever you are. I have been listening to jazz all my life. It really keeps me going.

Right, Jazz the great musical invention of 20th century. It will survive forever.

The Giants of Jazz.

Stitt's solo.....my gosh, how abundant of swinging ideas one after another. I have heard Stitt countless times, but this solo is one of the most impressive.

Alto, tenor and baritone saxophone practitioner of "Gibraltaric" magnificience is Sonny Stitt - being his own man all the way. This identical tune, with a different title, was played by Clifford Brown and Lou Donaldson in 1954/56 at Bird Land in New York, New York, USA The album is titled Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers: "A Night At Bird Land featuring the new trumpet sensation Clifford Brown". Lou and Clifford tore the Club down musically. It was a musical inferno of which the arsonists also included Art Blakey - of course on "pyrotechnic" Drums

Sonny Stitt is great on this video. 2:49 "In an english country garden" :^)

Em 1958 era difícil adquirir um Disco de 78 rpm aqui no Rio de Janeiro, imagine em Niterói, uma cidade ao lado e que era Capital do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Eu estava no Ginasial, fazendo esforço, pois o ensino era rigoroso. Mas já gostava de ouvir alguns discos na casa de um colega, cujo pai era apaixonado, por Jazz. Mas, naquele tempo havia ora para tudo e muitas vezes não se ouvia quase nada, Hoje idoso, tenho oportunidade de ver o que ouvi nos velhos discos - o melhor do Jazz !!!!!

I keep coming back to this, Sonny was unbelievable, and the way Dizzy crafted his solo in response to the fire Sonny set was genius as well

Oh oui ! ici les maîtres du Bebop.

Dizzy Gillespie never did a thing for me, but Sonny Stitt is the real star of this performance.

rebueno!

Gus n dizzy talking shit in the back while Gus playing. Lollllll

That stage is packed with talent, I love that Ludwig drum kit, No matter what style of music Ludwig Drums always put out the right sound when tuned properly. Dizzy was so young there I remember seeing him on Johnny Carson in the 70's, Like most great musician's his talent keep on growing.

Incontestável essa versão! Muito boa também a versão brasileira de Ed Lincoln.

Acabei de ouvir agora, no carro. No mesmo disco tem "É o Cid", "Na Onda do Berimbau", "O Ganso", "Pergunte ao João"... Gostaria de saber o quê pensaria o compositor de The Blues Walk ao saber que sua música, ainda hoje, é usada nas paradas para intervalo das orquestras dos bailes de carnaval de clubes. Só uma observação, acho que o baterista da gravação do Ed Lincoln não ajudou muito. Se fosse o Edison Machado, não teria pra ninguém, nem para o Gus Johnson.

Ricardo, O fantástico Edson Machado nós vamos encontrar junto a outros fantásticos como: Luiz Carlos Vinhas (piano) e Sebastião Neto (baixo); no conjunto " Os Bossa Três", em 1963. Muito Bom! Ainda assim, não desprezo a versão do Ed. Lincoln, mesmo sem saber quem é o baterista.

@Ricardo-hu9is

Maurici, um "Luiz" criou um blog, que já está parado desde 07/2012, para divulgar trabalhos do Edison Machado. Apesar do tempo de inatividade, muitos links ainda estão ativos. Consegui baixar muita coisa legal, pois o "Luiz" disponibiliza discos em que o Edison participou nas gravações, não necessariamente como integrante de um grupo próprio. Tem os do "Os Bossa Três" e o do "Quarteto Edison Machado", claro, mas também outros discos em que ele foi contratado apenas como baterista. Dê uma olhada lá: edisonmachado.blogspot.com.br/ Quanto ao baterista da versão do Ed Lincoln, que eu também não sei quem é, parece que as baquetas dele pesam 20 kg cada, e esse é o tipo de música que todo baterista deveria adorar tocar, pois a virada é só dele. Quem deve saber o nome do baterista e da tia que servia café no estúdio são os japoneses. De música brasileira eles têm tudo e sabem tudo. Nós... bem, nós somos nós, os "espertos". Abração

That drummer is having quite a bit of fun.

I sure hope there was a fire engine and crew standing by - I don't know how the whole place didn't just go up!!!

Who wrote it? Sonny Stitt? Lou Donaldson? Those are the two main suspects. There's even an argument about the title - Is it "Blues Walk" or "Loose Walk"?

Of all the great saxophone players in modern jazz i always thought Sonny Stitt was the most underated and not taken too seriously in his younger days because he copied Parker.
