Title: The Bridge r. + 1 Bonus Track
Condition: New
Format: Vinyl
EAN: 8436542017053
Description: There is an extended gap in Sonny Rollins discography between 1959 and 1962 in which he voluntarily decided not to play in public. No recordings exist from this period after the private tapes that were made during his March 1959 European tour. His subsequent recordings were the January-February 1962 sessions that would produce the album The Bridge. This marked the first of Rollins legendary musical sabbaticals. Living on Manhattan s Lower East Side, he was often spotted on the nearby Williamsburg Bridge at night, deep in a rigorous practice session. This vinyl album is presented here featuring on the cover David McLane s classic photo of Sonny on the bridge. 'At the risk of being unable to give Rollins a higher numerical rating when he surpasses this album (and I have every confidence that he will) this set still has to be placed in the superlative class.' ***** Down Beat
