Saturday Morning

Alto saxophonist SONNY CRISS emerged in the late 1960s from a six-year period of soul-searching and self-examination and recorded 7 albums over 3 years with producer Don Schlitten for Prestige Records. SATURDAY MORNING was his first album released under his own name in the 1970s, and features pianist Barry Harris, bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Lenny McBrowne. 'When you hear Sonny Criss play you hear a tone like no other a piercing, passionate sound from the heart. It sears the listener. Catch just a couple of bars of his playing and you know right away who is handling that saxophone with such consummate skill.' Mark Gardner, from the original liner notes.
This deluxe CD contains the original liner notes by Mark Gardner, and new essays by Ted Panken and producer Zev Feldman, plus extra photos and session notes. Original session Produced & Directed by Don Schlitten. Album design & cover photo by Don Schlitten. 'Sonny Criss was like the Shadow. He was a master saxophonist. He played very, very beautifully.' Ornette Coleman
