Sonny Phillips
Sonny (* 1936) began playing jazz organ after hearing Jimmy Smith in his twenties. He studied
under Ahmad Jamal, and played in the 1960s and 1970s with Lou Donaldson, Nicky Hill, Eddie Harris,
Houston Person, and Gene Ammons. His debut album was released in 1969, and he released several
further records as a leader before suffering a long illness in 1980. He went into semi-retirement
after this and moved to Los Angeles; since then he has performed and taught occasionally.
