    Stitt's 50 here, Sanborn 29. We think of the guys from Stitt's era being as old as trees, or at least I tend to, but he was younger here than, say, Chris Potter is today.

      Look up the performance of "Paul Butterfield Blues Band at Woodstock" playing the Little Walter song "Everything is going to be Alright".
      ruclips.net/video/h62W2ARtwU8/видео.html&ab_channel=cp03
      That was 1969 so 5 years prior to this footage, I believe from interviews David Sanborn said he was 19 when Butterfield gave him his "break" by bringing him onboard and this gig. You can see some good information about this during Sanborn's interview for the documentary movie on Paul Butterfield's life called "Horn from the Heart". Sanborn says in there that he has never played with such a dynamic band "before or since" as Butterfield's band. I am aware of this as being a harmonica player 51 years and a fan of Butterfield but also who has most of David Sanborn's albums and have adapted a bunch of his songs/arrangements for harmonica. Very sad that Mr. Sanborn recently made his transition from this earth R.I.P.

      @@GeoffBournes well, it is not a competition. Both offered up their statement on that day and it's something we can revisit and enjoy. Stitt usually played over blues, bop, and standards. I don't think of David Sanborn as what's TO COME. He came out of many great black saxophonists. He presented what he did within electric R & B influenced instrumental music. It's all good.

    Listen to the recording on the Evans Orchestra's "Priestess" album. Sanborn plays much more coherently in the first alto solo . . . and then Arthur Blythe blows him away.

      @ChrisDragotta Sir,thanks for weighing in but in our experience the late great Sonny Stitt ,as far as we know ,read and heard was always referred to as " The Lone Wolf" as he basically NEVER had a regular working band and was a featured soloist but not too big a deal. In our mind Stitt is TOTALLY underrated till this day.Does the totally average ,young jazz fan know who Stitt is??Also never heard of David Sanborn referred to as " The Lone wolf",maybe we missed that all these years but never heard him referred to as that. Anyway,enjoy them both and whatever else you dig. Thanks...

      "Stitt Plays Bird" was one of the first jazz albums I was told to buy by my older peers when I was starting to learn about jazz in 1989. He was a known force and very well regarded. Who does the ratings anyway to get the title underrated?

      @@saxshooter The "competition compulsion" seems to be at disease level among guitar players. They seem to be unable to hear any guitar player play anything without forming a circle and start comparing "who is better than who". I play harmonica 51 years and listen to both of these players (had a swing & jazz band 10 years) and have adapted many Sanborn tunes/arrangements for harp (I have played much with many great horn players too) and must admit when I was hearing Sanborn burning on the clip, it was like "ooo how is Sonny going to follow that" but of course when he stepped up and his trademark tone started flowing like butter it was simple to ease into the pocket with him. No need to compare, they are both unique and great!
