New Video: Sonny Rollins at Ronnie Scott's, 1974

On July 17, 1974, Sonny Rollins appeared at Ronnie Scott's jazz club in London, two years after his 1972 comeback after a lengthy sabbatical. At the time, a film was shot, then shelved and now, for the first time, it's up online.

Sonny's band at Ronnie Scott's featured Sonny Rollins (ts), Rufus Harley (ss,bagpies), Yoshiaki Masuo (el-g), Bob Cranshaw (el-b) and David Lee (d).

Songs featured were The Cutting Edge, Don't Stop the Carnival, A House Is Not a Home, Dearly Beloved, Sais, East Broadway Rundown and his Alfie movie theme, among others.
