Sonny Rollins/Italy 1988

He continued to work energetically in the 1980s, consistently releasing albums such as “Next Album,” “Sunny Days Starry Nights,” “The Solo Album,” and “G-man” from Milestone. And in the latter half of the 1980s, the show in Reggio Emilia, Italy on May 9th from the 1988 Euro Tour was recorded over 65 minutes on a stereo soundboard source, remastered from the broadcast source from the FM on-air master that was recently re-aired. First, the quintet, including piano player Mark Soskin and trombone player Clifton Anderson, who were regular members at the time, was formed. The following year, Branford Marsalis and Jack DeJohnette joined, and the collaboration with his former ally Tommy Flanagan attracted a lot of attention, and he moved to a slightly mellow line with “In Love with Jazz,” but here the hard bop style of the past explodes, and the performance is packed with jazz royal road.
