THIS ISNâT JAZZâŠTHIS IS PURE METROPOLITAN SOUND MATTER.
SONNY ROLLINS ON IMPULSE WITH FREDDIE HUBBARD, ELVIN JONES AND JIMMY GARRISON BEHIND AND BESIDE HIM.
IS THIS THE FURTHEST âOUTâ SONNY ROLLINS EVER WENT?
MAYBE.
BUT THOSE QUESTIONS ARE FOR GUYS WITH SOUL PATCHES AND KNIT âWORLD MUSICâ STYLE CAPS.
NOT ME.
ELVIN JONES PLAYS HIS DRUMS LIKE GOD PLAYS WATERâŠ
STRAIGHT LIQUIDâŠTOTAL FLOW.
LATE 2010s. I LIVED ON MOTT STREET. I WALKED TO EAST BROADWAY. I NOTICED THE YOUTH. THEY TURNED 18 AND EITHER CHOSE âKIDSâ (1995) OR âTRAINSPOTTINGâ (1996) AS THEIR IDENTITY.
SONNY ROLLINS WOULD EXIT THE SCENE AFTER THIS RECORD FOR 6 YEARS.
I WONDER IF HE WILL BE PRACTICING ON THE WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE TOMORROW MORNING WHILE SOME DRUNKEN CANAL TYPE KID PASSES HIM, PHONE IN HAND, EN ROUTE TO DROP $12.99 FOR A COFFEE WITH RARE NUT MILK. WILL THEY LEAVE THE CUSTOMARY 25% TIP FOR THE MISERABLE BARISTA? WILL THAT PORCHES CHAP BE THERE? HE IS EVERYWHERE.
IâM NEVER TIPPING AGAIN.

around the 55 second mark the jazz trio halts and a gasp of silence envelops you. then bud powellâs piano cascades tenderly, yet implacably, down a flight of stairs and your swept away with him and itâs absolute magic

revolutionary album. contains some elements of what would eventually become free jazz while still operating within relatively traditional song structures. caused me to re-evaluate how i interact with and create art. one of my absolute favorites right now.

If you've read other Saunders & not understood what the fuss is about, this is what it's about. Required IMO.
