Recorded on March 22 - 23, 1976
Yet another example of amazing jazz from the 1970s that's been unfairly overlooked.
I love this stuff!

This album and Awakening (both on Horizon) were a revelation when first released. With larger groups and arrays of percussion instruments, the compositions flow a sour beautifully. I also recommend Senengeti Minstrel released in 1977 on Atlantic. 20 years later, Sonny recorded a bunch of top Blue Note CDs that should not be overlooked (but that's a different decade).
ReplyDeleteHey Scott, I had never heard of this. I don't think I have ANY stuff by Sonny Fortune, but I found this one online and bought the download. Really great stuff and it represents the era very well. Thanks, Robert
