Fortune (May 19, 1939[1] \u2013 October 25, 2018) was an American jazz saxophonist. Fortune played soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones, clarinet, and flute.<\/p>\n<p>Biography<br \/>He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. After moving to New York City in 1967, Fortune recorded and appeared live with drummer Elvin Jones&#8217;s group.[1] In 1968, he was a member of Mongo Santamar\u00eda&#8217;s band. He performed with singer Leon Thomas, and with pianist McCoy Tyner (1971\u201373). In 1974, Fortune replaced Dave Liebman in Miles Davis&#8217;s ensemble, remaining until spring 1975,[1] when he was succeeded by Sam Morrison. Fortune can be heard on the albums Big Fun, Get Up With It, Agharta, and Pangaea, the last two recorded live in Japan.[<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button
