Biography

Sonny Rollins is a saxophone colossus. The revered tenor saxophonist first received that appellation via the name of his 1956 Prestige Records album. Even then, at age 26, the title seemed fitting. He had already played and/or recorded with bebop giants Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, and J.J. Johnson—and had established himself as the prominent young voice on his… Read more in Amazon's Sonny Rollins Store

5 stars is a lie - this is at least a 10 star album. Something really special. A magnificent tour de force by the grand old man of jazz greatness. Road Shows Vol 1 was good, but nothing prepared me for the mind-blowing wonderfulness of this release. Sonny Rollins at his best is the greatest improviser in all jazz. And this is Sonny at his absolute best, therefore music at its absolute best. Also, for the first time in a long time, the supporting cast is as stratospheric as the man deserves, including the most understated of all the great greats "everybody's favourite guitarist", Mr. Jim Hall and, Mr. Snap Crackle himself, the very wonderful Roy Haynes (musicians' musicians all), as well fine younger guns Roy Hargroves and Christian McBride, and a man who needed and got no introduction, but did get a rapturous reception, Ornette Coleman. IMHO this is Rollins' best release since his Impulse albums some 45 years ago (wow). Hesitate not - patronise at once.

Octagenarian's star still shining bright. 25 Sep 2011
By Scott McWade - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The first Road Shows disc confirmed to many, what some had known all along. That this tenor titan was still out there practicing his craft. I just assumed volume two would go backward in the timeline, as volume one was culled from relatively newer live recordings. Sonny himself eventually hinted volume two would involve material from his just performed 80th birthday celebration at the Beacon with Ornette, as he was so happy with the results. The proof is in the pudding and in this case, Sonny knows best. This recording is sterling and the playing is not great for an 80 year old, it's just plain great. I'm not going to suggest that it's some sort of new creative apex, let's just say, he's coming into his own, again.

What a sparkler! 11 Oct 2011
By R. Poe - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I must say, I have been disappointed with many live recordings in the past, but this one is definitely a winner. It sounds like the players didn't know they were being recorded so, there is a very lively and spontaneous spirit that shines through this event. The playing is intense and the recording is clean and the sound has a presence that open your senses.
Highly recommended!

I am very surprised at the album.Probably one his best live recordings. The backup on these songs is solid,even tho they are taken from different concerts I can only commend Sonny Rollins for his greatness even at 80 years old.
