Sonny Phillips is a decent, if derivative organist who recorded three albums for Prestige from 1969-70 and a pair for Muse in the mid-1970s. This 1997 CD reissue has all of the music from Sure 'Nuff and Black on Black, a couple of fine soul-jazz recordings. The earlier set is a quintet/sextet set with tenor saxophonist Houston Person, guitarist Joe "Boogaloo" Jones, electric bassist Bob Bushnell, drummer Bernard Purdie and sometimes trumpeter Virgil Jones. The later date features Phillips with tenor saxophonist Rusty Bryant, guitarist Melvin Sparks, electric bassist Jimmy Lewis and drummer Bernard Purdie. The music is blues- and groove-oriented, with "Oleo" being one of the few departures. Person and Bryant in particular have fine solos, while Phillips' chugging organ is appealing. This is his definitive set.

Sonny Phillips
Active Decades: '60s and '70s
Born: Dec 07, 1936 in Mobile, AL
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Soul-Jazz
Organist Sonny Phillips was born in Mobile, AL. in 1936 to a musical family, but did not begin his jazz education until the age of 23, when he began studying with Ahmad Jamal. The music of Jimmy Smith inspired him to switch to the organ, and soon he was performing with soul-jazz greats such as Lou Donaldson, Eddie Harris, Houston Person, and Gene Ammons. Phillips debuted as a leader on the 1969 Prestige set Sure 'Nuff, which was followed by the 1970 dates Black Magic and Black on Black. He returned to recording as a leader for the Muse label in 1976 with My Black Flower, but the next year's I Concentrate on You proved to be his final recording to date. After an illness in 1980, Phillips moved to Los Angeles, where he teaches and performs on occasion.
