Awakening is an album by American saxophonist Sonny Fortune recorded in 1975 and released on the Horizon label.

[1] In The Village Voice, Robert Christgau said while Awakening featured nothing innovative, it did showcase Fortune's knack for "great synthesis", including "shades of hard bop and late-'50s Miles in a more modal setting, so lyrical and tough-minded that the 12-minute flute-and-congas thing (the title cut, wouldn't you know) becomes quite credible, even listenable.

"[4] Vincent Thomas for AllMusic calls the album "an adequate set of mostly straight-ahead jazz, which sets it apart from many of his fusion-venturing peers of the '70s".
