Sonny Rollins / CO, USA 11.14.1984 Soundboard Edition

Sonny Rollins continued to evolve at the forefront of the jazz scene even into the 1980s. This album, “Blue Note 1984,” vividly captures that period of his prolific performance. Rollins, a “living legend,” performing on the stage of the prestigious Blue Note jazz club in Boulder, Colorado, is captured in this soundboard recording. During this time, Rollins’s thick, resonant tenor tone is combined with bold rhythmic processing and motif development, creating a rare state where youthfulness and maturity coexist. His solos, which freely drive the music while deconstructing and reconstructing themes, are pure Rollins at their finest. The intimate atmosphere unique to Blue Note brings each note to life with vividness. This is a highly recommended album not only for fans who know the golden age of hard bop, but also for listeners interested in Rollins from the 80s onward. Experience the proof that the master continued to be “jazz in progress.” Live At Blue Note, Boulder, CO November 14th, 1984 Disc 1 1.I’m Old Fashioned 2.Band Introduction 3.Tell Me You Love Me 4.My One And Only Love Disc 2 1.Tenor Madness 2.Don’t Stop The Carnival 3.I’ll Be Seeing You(late show) 4.Tell Me You Love Me(late show) Sonny Rollins(ts) Bobby Broom(g) Mark Soskin(p) Bob Cranshaw(b) Tommy Campbell(dr)
