Hold on I’m coming was one of my first chances to hear Sonny play (late 90s) (tho I did happen to come across the Green Line lp randomly before that) and his solo on that track blew my mind out the back of my skull 🤯
I enjoyed your writing so much i made a substack account!
Don’t forget the full live album with herbie from 72 (great sonny solo on Memphis underground, marvellous interplay with the pianist , Pat Rebillot) and the Mar Y Sol festival compilation which has a grittier version of respect yourself than the above mentioned album.
Thanks again this article is an excellent reference which I’ll keep returning to as i hoover up the Discography
I stumbled upon a vinyl recording of Green Line recently at Amoeba Records in LA and I totally lost my effing mind! Never even knew it existed. But I don't have a record player... smh
Bravissimo! More music to learn and love. Thank you Hank…
thanks so much, Vinnie -- your recent historical deep dives definitely inspired me to document my intermittent trips down this particular rabbit hole!
