Tonight's Jazz Feature is one of the most individual and passionate voices of the alto saxophone William "Sonny" Criss. The album is his second for Prestige Records called "Portrait of Sonny Criss". He recorded for Prestige from 1966 to 1969 and these albums remain his best known. Sonny here is accompanied by the great under rated Walter Davis Jr. on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Alan Dawson on drums and was done on March 23, 1967 at Rudy Van Gelder's Studio. The album mixes standard tunes and a couple of Jazz favorites but each track demonstrates Sonny's passionate sound and intensity. A musical portrait indeed of an unsung great: Sonny Criss.

Tonight we present a very special concert that took place in Vancouver at the newly opened Queen Elizabeth Theatre and was presented by the old Vancouver New Jazz Society. It took place on a Sunday night on December 6, 1959. The star was the great Modern Jazz pianist Russ Freeman. Mr. Freeman was one of the leading and busiest pianists on the West Coast as he had played with Charlie Parker, Chet Baker, Art Pepper ,Dexter Gordon, Sonny Criss and many other greats. He was a hard swinging and inventive pianist who had his own style. Russ and Hampton Hawes were the two leading lights of Jazz piano on the Coast. He was very happy with his two accompanists and inspired by their talents. They were Vancouver legends Stan "Cuddles" Johnson on bass and swinging drummer Jimmy Wightman. Russ didn't do many trio albums under his name and this disc issued by Montreal's Just a Memory label adds greatly to his legacy. Sadly these fine musicians are all gone but their music lives tonight as The Jazz Show's Jazz Feature.
With all the "Sonnys" in Jazz, especially those who are saxophone players, one who seems always to be forgotten is William "Sonny" Criss. He is tonight's Jazz feature artist. Sonny had been around for a few years but his career was rather spotty but in 1965 he sent a demo tape to Prestige Record's producer Don Schlitten and Sonny was signed to a contract and recorded seven superb albums for Prestige from 1966 to 1969. We hear his initial date tonight recorded in RVG Studio on October 21,1966, 2 days before Sonny's 39th Birthday. Sonny appears with Walter Davis Jr. on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and the magnificent Alan Dawson on drums. The repertoire of 8 tunes is mostly standards but Walter Davis composed one and Sonny composed one also. As the cover of the album states "here is an alto saxophonist whose consummate artistry approaches perfection". That quote is no exaggeration and I'm sure you'll agree. "This is Criss!" tonight's Jazz Feature.

In this episode Nick Tomalin and Simon Whiteside discuss the music Sonny Clark recorded with Buddy de Franco, Grant Green and Dexter Gordon. Even after re-recording the Buddy De Franco section to half it's length, the original podcast plan to also include Sonny Criss and Hank Mobley meant it ran to 1.5 hours. So we decided to drop those two sections.If you would like to hear that long version it will be publicly available on our Patreon page later. If enough people register their interest through comments on the podcast outlets we can upload it to all the usual suspects later.https://www.patreon.com/user?u=25450273

For the second of our Jazz Features spotlighting great voices of the alto saxophone who are either overlooked, underrated or under recorded, we present perhaps the best known exponent of this month's line-up William "Sonny" Criss. Sonny was a passionate player who was influenced by Charlie Parker but whose sound recalled earlier voices of the instrument like Benny Carter or Pete Brown. Sonny had an erratic career and was overlooked at many periods of his life but his mastery was never in doubt. Tonight we present a previously rare quartet date that Sonny did in early 1956 for the small Imperial label. The album was one of three he did for that label and this one was called "Go, Man!". It features some powerful Sonny with another Sonny on piano named Clark. Sonny Clark delivers some wonderful solos too. Leroy Vinnegar is on bass and Lawrence (aka Larence) Marable is on drums. Go, Man! is a great testament to Sonny's confidence, power and absolute virtuosity and individuality. Sonny Criss!
The forecast for this cast is . . . well, we're doing a show about four alto sax players named Sonny. Make your own meteorological joke. Sonny Stitt – REARIN’ BACK/ TRIBUTE TO ELLINGTON; Sonny Fortune – SERENGETI MINSTREL; Sonny Criss – SONNY’S DREAM; Sonny Simmons – BURNING SPIRITS.
Alto saxophonist William "Sonny" Criss was undeservedly overlooked for most of his rather frustrating career. He truly is one of the very greats on his instrument and a powerful emotionally direct player with a beautiful full singing tone. Sonny's most prolific recording period was the 1960s when in 1965 he was signed with Prestige Records. The seven or so albums he did for that label are all real gems. Most of Sonny's albums are in a quartet or quintet setting with Sonny out front as the single horn. That was his preference. This album on tonight's Jazz Feature is different as it is Sonny with a nine piece band.. The band was formed as a co-operative effort between Sonny and pianist/composer Horace Tapscott. Tapscott wrote and arranged all six pieces to feature Sonny. Tapscott conducted the band. The other soloists are pianist Tommy Flanagan, tenor saxophonist Teddy Edwards and trumpeter Conte Candoli. The other non-soloists are David Sherr on alto saxophone, Pete Christlieb on baritone, Dick Nash on trombone, Ray Draper on tuba, Al McKibbon on bass and Everett Brown Jr. on drums..Kudos to producer Don Schlitten for recording this very short-lived band as it remains a unique recording in the short discography of the great Sonny Criss.
