Sonny Fortune Quintet at the Oslo Jazz Festival

Sonny Fortune (saxophone), Michael Varekamp (trumpet), Jon Davis (piano), Joris Teepe (double bass), Erik John Kooger (drums). The legendary american saxophone player Sonny Fortune is a man that there's a big chance you've already heard. Fortune played in Miles Davis' band in the 70s, and you can hear his sax on records lit Big Fun, Agartha, Pangaea and Get Up With It. And as if that wasn't enough, he used to be a member of Elvin Jones' Jazz Machine, and he's worked with artists like McCoy Tyner, George Benson, Dizzy Gillespie and more. But Fortune doesn't live in his past. These days he's leading his own European quintet with Michael Varekamp, Jon Davis, Joris Teepe and Erik John Kooger. TV Director, Alfred Hartz (57 min)
