JAZZ CD PICK OF THE WEEK - SONNY ROLLINS


This weeks Jazz CD Pick of the Week is the 1962 recording by Sonny Rollins titled The Bridge. This recording marked a return to recording for Sonny after three years of self-imposed retirement and woodshedding. The title track of the cd (The Bridge) is based on the fact that Sonny spent much of his retirement time practicing by himself on the Williamsburg Bridge. Here is Sonny Rollins playing The Bridge with Jim Hall on guitar from 1962. Enjoy!
