montg Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) I'm really enjoying this new CD from Sonny. mostly a run through standards, but with plenty of soul and heart. And excitement, there's nothing routine here. A pretty kickin' take on Mancinci's 'Charade', a beautiful rendition of "'round midnight" on flute, a romp through Sweet Georgia Brown...you get the idea. Players of this generation... Billy Harper, Charles Tolliver, Sonny Fortune and so on never really received the attention they earned because of the cultural/business shift toward kid rock by the end of the 60s. So, it's good to hear them still playing with a lot of heart. Good to hear George Cables on this cd too. Edited October 5, 2007 by montg Quote
