Sonny Fortune是一位继续成长进步的乐手(擅长萨克斯风与长笛),目前是处於颠峰状态。他在费城的一个节奏蓝调乐团开始他的工作。1967年来到纽约市,与鼓手Elvin Jones以及Mongo Santamaria(1967-70年)。1971-73年之间与钢琴手McCoy Tyner合作演出,之后他们也有很多次一起演出。在与鼓手Buddy Rich的乐团演出简短的时间后,1974-75年时在小喇叭手Miles Davis的乐团有很出色的表现。 70年代他为Horizon唱片与Atlantic唱片推出个人专辑,风格是融合放克与流行音乐,但是销售成绩并不理想。他也是鼓手Elvin Jones的乐团Jazz Machine的一员,近几年与小喇叭手Nat Adderley的乐团合作,他在这个乐团吹的乐器是萨克斯风。      Sonny Fortune has continued to grow with time and in the mid-90s, he was in prime form. Fortune started his career playing in R&B groups in Philadelphia. He moved to New York in 1967 where he worked with Elvin Jones, Mongo Santamaria (1967-1970), and McCoy Tyner (1971-1973 and occasionally since). After a stint with Buddy Rich, Fortune played quite effectively with Miles Davis (1974-1975). His solo albums during the 1970s for Horizon and Atlantic were generally unsuccessful mixtures of advanced jazz with funk and pop elements. However, he has cut excellent dates for Konnex (1984, 1991, and 1993), including a well-received Monk set and Fortune has toured in recent times with Nat Adderley and (on tenor, an instrument he should play more often) with Elvin Jones Jazz Machine.
