Sonny Stitt Redux:
Was He the "Stinkmeaner" of the Saxophone?
Was He the "Stinkmeaner" of the Saxophone?
Sonny Sti.......nkmeaner!? I recently received a comment on one of my posts from 2013 entitled "Sonny Stitt - "How Many Keys on the Saxophone?" from a seemingly informed gentleman by the name of Leo Cluesmann.
In my post, I detailed the experience of my encounter in 1980 with the jazz legend, saxophonist Sonny Stitt, believing, correctly as I found out, that many people who are still around had their own Stitt stories.
It's obvious, using Mr. Cluesmann's comment as an example, that even almost forty years after his death, Stitt still elicits some strong emotions from some folks.
I'll include Leo's comment here in full; for which I wish to thank him.
