Sonny Stitt was an early pioneer of bebop. As a young saxophonist…I ignorantly thought that he was just a Charlie Parker clone (that’s an argument for another day). When it comes down to bebop language…you can’t go wrong with Sonny Stitt. Every solo that he has ever played was full of valuable language!

I actually got the request for this youtube video below from my Charlie Parker video.
