About
Jazz Bridge presents:
Pianist / leader Dennis Fortune formed the seminal jazz group of the 1980s: Fortune, Vinson, and Cruse. This formidable band was produced and recorded by T.S.Monk and Charles Fambrough - many CDs went ballistic in critical acclaim and sales, and they toured extensively in festivals and clubs up and down the East Coast. After the death of drummer Pete Vinson, Fortune re-grouped and formed Manifest III, keeping bassist Cruse and adding guitarist Gerald "Twig" Smith, who has worked with all the top players in Philly and in organ groups with Jimmy McGriff and Groove Holmes, and drummer Harry "Butch" Reed, a veteran of the Electric Mingus Project and Soul Fuego. This is jazz at its finest!...
