REVIEWS

Continuum
author: john eberth
Continuum is vintage Sonny Fortune. He is THE greatest living alto player. The tune, Continuum, is reminiscent of his never-to-be-matched solo on Nomo (Awakening), while in Trane and Things, he captures Trane's signature riffs from his later albums, and at an intensity only Fortune can sustain. My only complaint is that he doesn't take half hour solos, because he is the only musician who can sustain an intensity for that long without being repetitive. He can bring you out of your chair or down to your knees. He is an absolute musical treasure!

Continuum is outstanding

This outstanding CD is highly listenable, has great tunes, and super sax and piano on it, backed up with excellence on drums and bass.

great alto voice
author: chris schneider
I enjoyed Sonny's work and the arrangments are very exciting and emotional. I much prefer his alto saxophone to the flute and soprano, but I that's just cuz I am studying the alto and his playing is important and note worthy. "From Now On.." is my favorite Sonny Fortune cd.

More great tunes from the under-rated Sonny Fortune
author: Jeff Hall
It often seems Sonny Fortune is not as appreciated as he ought to be, given his considerable talents. Anyone who has seen him perform live knows that he's a formidable player. If you haven't seen him live, I suggest you do so, but if that's not a possibility, than "Continuum" is a great snapshot of what he's all about. But I really mean it - go seem him live if you can!
