Description

Portrait of Sonny Criss is a deeply expressive hard-bop album from alto saxophonist Sonny Criss, recorded in 1967 for the iconic Prestige label. Known for his emotional intensity and blues-inflected phrasing, Criss delivers a powerful, introspective session that stands among his strongest late-career recordings.

Backed by a tight rhythm section featuring Walter Davis Jr., Paul Chambers, and Alan Dawson, the album balances lyrical ballads with soulful swing. Tracks such as “God Bless the Child,” “A Million or More Times,” and “Blues in the Closet” highlight Criss’s rich tone and deeply personal approach to jazz improvisation.

A highly regarded Prestige title and an essential record for collectors of classic American jazz.
