Sonny Rollins Sonny Rollins/France 1978

Sonny Rollins appears on this album from the soundboard recordings of the historic jazz festival in Antibes, France, which was released in recent years (2024). Rollins does not take a jazz-rock approach, but here there are songs where Mark Soskin plays electric piano, and coupled with the electric bass, it should be of interest to fans who do not listen to much orthodox jazz. The drummer is Al Foster, Miles’ right-hand man who supported him in his prime. There were small blanks between songs and some slightly unnatural parts, so they were restored during the remastering.
