Review

Perennially underrated saxophonist Sonny Fortune has worked with Miles Davis, McCoy Tyner, and Elvin Jones. Not coincidentally, each of these musicians enjoyed a close relationship with Fortune's overriding musical influence, John Coltrane. In the Spirit consists mostly of originals by Fortune written under the influence of Trane. "Hangin' Out with J.C." borrows its chord structure from "Countdown" and "Moment's Notice," while the title track is a deep ballad reminiscent of "Dear Lord." Although he's best known as an alto saxophonist, Fortune also plays tenor and soprano here, distinguishing himself accordingly on each horn. He's accompanied by a topnotch rhythm section including John Hicks on piano, Santi Debriano on bass, and Ronnie Burrage on drums. On the last track, "For John," bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Rashied Ali lift off with Fortune on a visit to interstellar space. The spirit lives. -- Rick Mitchell
