[edit] Books on Stitt

So far as I am aware, no one has wrote a biography on Stitt, unless anyone can tell of someone who has. The thing is, this article is coming on nicely, but we are going to be inhibited if there are no texts on him.--Knucmo2 11:57, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Miles Davis's autobiography has quite a bit on him. I'm not finished with the book, so I don't know how much worthy info it actually has, but I'm wondering if we should include the fact that he had a pretty severe heroin problem. Most interestingly, he was almost killed in 1959 when someone gave him smack that had been tampered with. He gave it to a guy named Freddie Webster who took it and died. Seems like it might be worth adding?

I noticed there is a Link to some .pdf Stitt solos. I'd like to offer my website's Transcriptions page as an additional resource--I have several Stitt solos, and I've received much positive feedback regarding them. If acceptable to Wikipedia, the Link is http://www.lorenweisbrod.com/transcriptions.htm. If questions, please e-mail me through my Contact page. Regards, Loren Weisbrod
