Sonny Rollins: Holding the Stage: Road Shows Vol. 4

Read "Holding the Stage: Road Shows Vol. 4" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki


At this point in his long and storied career, tenor saxman Sonny Rollins is probably incapable of releasing genuinely bad music (which isn't as obvious a statement as it may seem if, for example, you've tried to listen to Bob Dylan's Shadows in the Night Sinatra homage). Still, some sets are better than others, and Sonny ...

Sax Rhapsody. Si potrebbe definire così questo CD che documenta alcuni tour de force rollinsiani tra il 1996 e il 2012. Le otto tracce proposte offrono un'efficace rappresentazione di un genio in concerto, in tutta la sua carica espressiva. A fare da trait d'union è la volatile fantasia improvvisativa, immersa in un aureo classicismo capace di ...

Read "Road Shows, Vol. 3" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo


Come Re Mida, Rollins trasforma tutto quello che tocca in oro, dall'alto della venerabile età di ottantatre anni. A prescindere dai compagni di viaggio, le sei tracce incise dal vivo nel corso dell'ultimo decennio ce lo documentano più gagliardo e inventivo che mai. Una in particolare ("Solo Rollins") può essere elevata a simbolo di una carriera ...

The third installment of tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' live performances, Road Shows, Volume 3 is the most uniformly outstanding of the series. A task that is hard to achieve since the first two albums were superb musical gems in their own right.

Read "Sonny Rollins: Road Shows, Vol. 3 (2014)" reviewed by Victor L. Schermer

And why is that? The answer is simple: Rollins is forever in a state of becoming. He's the rare player who doesn't play towards ...
