The Brooklyn Conservatory of Music “Jazz at the Conservatory” series presents the Sonny Fortune Quartet. Fortune, a highly acclaimed musician, is accomplished in clarinet, flute, alto, tenor, soprano and baritone saxophone. He has enjoyed a dedicated and successful career, creating a legacy for himself that conjures up names such as Coltrane, Cannonball, Young, Bechet, Hawkins and Parker, but has earned him accolades such as:
"Of all of Trane's lasting contributions, perhaps the greatest to the future of improvised music was his example of spiritual integrity and physical drive. Sonny blows with both." - Howard Mandel
