Sonny Simmons : alto sax, English horn
Duets with
Anders Aarum : piano. Mats Eilertsen : bass. Ole-Thomas Kolberg : drums
Sonny Simmons is without a doubt one of the 5-6 most exiting alto saxophonists ever to play jazz, and he still is, at the age of 72! His highly original style is a natural extension of the styles of Charlie Parker and Eric Dolphy.
His legendary and groundbreaking albums on the "ESP" and "Contemporary" labels from the 60/70s feature such artists as: Prince Lasha/Gary Peacok/Elvin Jones/Cifford Jarvis/Billie Higgins/Charles Moffet/Mccoy Tyner/Lonnie Liston Smith/Joe Bonner/Gary Peacock/Jimmy Garrison/Buster Williams/Richard Davis/Reggie Workman/Cecil Mcbee/Herbie Lewis/Charnett Moffet/Michael White/Bobby Hutcherson.
Sonny Simmons is a true original and on this second album in his trilogy for Jazzaway Records he is featured in different duet settings exploring everything from the Blues to the avant-garde and beyond. Also featuring Mats Eilertsen (bass), Anders Aarum (piano) and Ole-Thomas Kolberg (drums).

Altoist Sonny Simmons made a strong impression in the 1960s as one of the most promising avant-garde players. He grew up in Oakland, CA, started playing English horn, and then at 16 took up the alto. Stints with Lowell Fulsom and Amos Milburn and some time spent playing bebop preceded Simmons finding his own sound in free jazz. In 1961, he spent some time with Charles Mingus and then, in 1962, he formed a group with flutist Prince Lasha. After they recorded The Cry, Simmons moved to New York, recorded with Elvin Jones and Eric Dolphy, and then in 1965 he returned to the Bay Area. Simmons met and married the powerful trumpeter Barbara Donald, recorded for ESP, and the duo performed and recorded in several settings. However, by the mid-'70s Simmons largely dropped out of music, the marriage broke up, and the altoist was forgotten for nearly 20 years. In 1994, Sonny Simmons (who had apparently played on the streets and been scuffling) suddenly re-emerged in peak form and as adventurous as ever, recording a brilliant trio album (Ancient Ritual) for QwestWarner Bros. that earned him long overdue recognition and launched the beginning of his second career. Simmons has since recorded an additional set for Qwest and a few dates for the CIMP label.
