It also did not stop him from drifting around the country playing in various R'n'B and jazz bands led by the likes of Johnny Otis, Stan Kenton and Billy Eckstine. Finally signed to R'n'B label Imperial in 1956, Sonny's first album (and our first selection) Jazz U.S.A was considered 'a true underground classic of the hard bop era'.EAN: 5022810711728Type: CDs & VinylGenre: JazzArtist: Sonny CrissNo Of Discs: 2Country/Region of Manufacture: GermanyRecord Label: Avid Jazz (Membran) Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
