Sonny Stitt was so great right until the end! Who could have guessed from this recording he was in a last month of his life!!

God I didn't know that. Such youth and vigor in the playing.

What do the circles over some of the D's mean?

[@LarryLenau]

It equates to "open" middle D fingering. Play a C# and add the high D palm key. It is noticeably thinner tone-wise. Sonny Stitt ends a lot of phrases using this alternate fingering.
