    Sonny Greenwich

    Sonny Greenwich (né Herbert Lawrence Greenidge), CM, guitarist, composer (born 1 January 1936 in Hamilton, ON). One of Canada's most intriguing jazz musicians, Sonny Greenwich divided his life between musical and spiritual pursuits — thus turning away from a potentially major career. Emulating jazz saxophonists John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins, Greenwich developed an original guitar style and created a highly personal body of music. Based in Toronto until 1968 and thereafter in and around Montreal, Greenwich performed only sporadically until the 1990s. He then became more active, collaborating with Wayne Shorter, Chick Corera, Suna Ra and Kenny Wheeler. Greenwich was nominated for four Juno Awards between 1994 and 1999 and was made a Member of the Order of Canada in 2005. His son, Sonny Greewnich Jr., is also a Juno-winning guitarist.
