Sonny Greenwich becomes a Member of the Order of Canada for his exceptional contribution to Canada and Canadians in the area of Performing Arts/Music. This award is on par with being Knighted in England and is a lasting tribute.

Sonny has been ill for the last few months and many jazz musicians--including Joe Zawinul and Mccoy Tyner--would like to see recognition of him here at AAJ.

In jazz circles Sonny Greenwich is a legend. He is a demanding performer totally dedicated to his art and uncompromising in his standards. An innovator, who has created his own distinct style for the guitar, he has many proteges, both in jazz and rock music.
