If you're looking for that fat spread Stitt sound, FIRST practice long tones focus on your air support, embouchure and throat position working properly together. If you like to dive deeper into that, we just released our brandnew online school at www.sharpelevenmusic.com where this and much more gets discussed. It includes full saxophone courses, guitar by Timothy, and eartraining is on it's way. There is also plenty free stuff (transcriptions and study material) to check out. But SECONDLY, there is a fourth factor in getting that huge sound like Sonny Stitt: gear. And as you might know, both of us are really no gearheads, we kinda avoid spending too much time on it. However, you can approach it like us if you made at least 1 time in your life a smart choice in gear, on saxophone for sound that would be mainly the mouthpiece. If you love that fat Stitt sound, check out the Theo Wanne NY Bros alto mouthpiece, which is based on the old Meyers Phil played, but hugely improved: theowanne.com/?affiliate_id=28 This is an affiliation link, and is the first one on gear you'll see on our channel because I really believe in the quality Theo Wanne provides. He has also very interesting articles on how mouthpieces function and work to help you out chosing the best ones for you. You don't pay any more of course, but you would help this channel out a bit by using this link. If you have any questions regarding Phils playing here our sound shoot :) Jorre

Fine and dandy 1&2..all God's chillun.

Yes! Stitt and Cannonball are my favourite alto players!

LoL, literally what I have been shedding the last few days. Great transcription! One of the best recordings. Ammons' solo is incredible as well.

The master of the mid-tempo. His solo bends time like a nasty wormhole!

I loved the Tico-Tico quote. He also played a lot of “wrong” notes (per chord-scale theory) but they sounded SO right!

Cool stuff. At 1:35, Sonny probably listened to Tico Tico no Fubá (brazilian song). 😊

Yeah I do love Brecker and Latin (and Arturo!). I think I checked it maybe once, but can't quite remember. You actually help me remember about the fact they recorded together. Now I'm triggered, thanks!

Nice

Hi Erik, we've decided to get the pdf's offline on our website, due to legal concerns for copyrighted (album) material. However, there's a way under "fair use" to share it, if it's for educational purposes, which we coincidentally did for this Stitt solo two months ago 😁 Here is the drive that's been used for the Stitt challenge (you might have seen that one, about 15 people playig this solo together) drive.google.com/drive/folders/13MckdZANnJkDg_OIEan2A9IdfGo81Bin?usp=sharing So, but the first paragraph is a bit of an explainer why you won't see them naturally up for copyrighted protected music. We do share two bootlegs - which aren't copyrighted - per month on our Patreon. Hope that helps, have fun wit Stitt!
