"Loose walk" "blues for pres, sweets, ben en all the other funky ones"

 

[rleitch]

Surfin' is one of my favs!

 

[Meatballfoot]

"Blues Greasy" is another good one. They are all good ones!

The ultimate is Sonny Stiitt with Gene Ammons on BLUES UP & DOWN ... a must transcribe.

 

[JohnGalt]

44 choruses of lick stealing bliss ...

Did he ever not played a good solo on the blues ?

 

[ikbtops]

'Blues Ahead' off the 'Dueces Wild' album. He sounds a bit like Lou Donaldson tone-wise... It's on iTunes.

My favorite Stitt blues solo is called Jack Spratt it is on an album simply called "Sonny Stitt." I believe it is on Chess records.

(Tenor)

"Counter Clockwise" from the aforementioned "Blues Up & Down" with Gene Ammons is also a goldmine of blues licks and a lesson in how to build a solo.

I must've bought that CD a dozen times because I keep running into younger guys that have never heard it. I lend them the CD and never see it again.
