Sonny Rollins: Road Shows, Vol. 3
Sono otto minuti di pura goduria, dove il Nostro si diverte a rielaborare con immaginazione feconda la presa melodica di "The Nearness of You" e "Someone to Watch Over Me." Si impone come sempre il proverbiale mattatore solistico, capace di incantare il pubblico con un suono ricco e potente. Ma un po' tutte le tracce ne riassumono le doti di seducente ballauder ed indefesso esploratore di soluzioni ritmiche sempre imprevedibili.
Nella superba rilettura delle due ballad in scaletta, il suo sax tenore ci offre una sequela impressionante di rilucenti finezze, con un crescendo d'eloquio ammaliante.
Che gli dei pagani del jazz ce lo conservino a lungo in vita.
