chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) WAS JUST CHILLING WITH MY MAIN MAN LEE RITENOUR, JUST HANGIN OUT, LIKE TWO REGULAR DUDES- I WAS ALL, WHATS UP WITH THE SONNY CRISS SESSION U DID, WARM AND SONNY(?) (actaully it was ''joy of sax''....)..... cause here u have sonny criss, like the greatest bebop alto player ever almost, so my question was essentially.....did sonny accept contemporary jazz, or did he not dig it etc... rit had this to say: he said it was orrin keepnews who put those sessions together, for sonny rollins, joe henderson, bobby hutcherson, with a fusion r.s., havey mason, patrice rushen,- he said: it didnt work. sonny criss was such a purist, and it didnt gel, he said although he felt very privleged to play on that for sonny, it didnt work. i was saying yea but it still is a beautiful album and it shows what could of been had sonny been around longer. i didnt elaborte futher but i was thinking like Hank, never got to really do a date like that. but sonny did. i also asked him: did you at all know grant green personally? he said no but he was a huge fan of course, to which i said hell yeah Edited August 27, 2011 by chewy Quote
