Sonny Rollins 'The Bridge'
The Great African-American Classical Art-Form
Maestro tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' first recording after ending a surprising three-year sabbatical to improve his skills.
In a pianoless quartet with guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Ben Riley, Rollins explores four standards (including "Without a Song" and "God Bless the Child") plus two fiery originals, highlighted by the title cut. The interplay between Rollins and Hall is consistently impressive, definitely a classic session and a very successful comeback.
