Sonny Fortune

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sonny Fortune, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, May 19, 1939, is an American jazz player, alto saxophonist, and flutist.

In 1974 he replaced Dave Liebman in Miles Davis's band, remaining until the following year when Miles was forced through illness into a five-year period of inactivity. Fortune was the first alto player to record with Miles's band since Cannonball Adderley on Kind of Blue in 1959.
