Sonny Stitt was an American jazz saxophonist who was born in 1924 and died in 1982. He was renowned for his mastery of both the alto and tenor saxophones, and was considered a pioneer of the bebop style. Stitt had a long and varied career, performing in a wide range of styles including swing, bop, hard bop, soul jazz, and post-bop. He also collaborated with a variety of musicians, including Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, and Charles Mingus.

Some of Stitt's standout albums include the 1957 release "Killer Diller" and the 1960 album "Just in Case You Change Your Mind". Both albums feature Stitt's signature mix of hard bop, swing, and bebop styles. Notable songs from these albums include "Killer Diller Blues" and "Just in Case You Change Your Mind".

An interesting fact about Sonny Stitt is that he is sometimes referred to as "the Saxophone Giant". This nickname was given to him due to his incredible technical skill and ability to play multiple saxophones with ease.
