While on his wayward adventures in America, Steve Fly Agaric 23 hooked up with drummer Alan Hertz and his band, together with Eric Levy who was also playing with Garaj Mahal, bassist and good friend Liam Hanrahan and Jason Conception sitting in for Tal Morris on guitar. In 2003 the band recorded a spectacular album in Berkeley; the selections made here are from the California leg of a short tour the same year, after which they travelled to Los Angeles and then back to San Francisco Bay Area where the band resides: Alan Hertz, drums; Eric Levy, keys; DJ Fly Agaric 23, sounds, turntables; Liam Hanarhan, bass; and Jason Conception, guitar, recorded live at Moe’s Alley in Santa Cruz, CA on September 18, 2003.

Sonny Fortune R.I.P

Radio Free Amsterdam would like to pay tribute to the mighty Sonny Fortune, who passed away this week at the tender age of 79.

Fortune played with all the greats, and soared upon some of my own personal favourite albums, including the electric Miles Davis albums “Agarta” and “Get Up With It”.

May the music live on and future generations live to enjoy the music of Sonny Fortune, multi instrumetalist, Sax legend and composer.

Mr. Fortune was known for his mix of urgency and grace, and his stalwart command — not just of the alto saxophone, his primary instrument, but also of the flute, clarinet, and soprano, tenor and baritone saxophones. He made his biggest impact as a sideman with the likes of Miles Davis, Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner and Mongo Santamaria.–NYT
