CD Reviews

The Legend Lives On

directions | Space Time Foam | 11/25/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Many people while in debt to the influences of Sonny Rollins, say that he was better live and also suffered from not having well known, talented side players (as when Miles had Coltrane in his band for a period of time). This album proves both of those statements right. Live, Sonny Rollins really opens up his sounds and does more improv and generally gets a freer sound. However, the members of the back up band are relatively obscure. If you want a real classic Sonny Rollins live cd, look for Our Man in Jazz which had Don Cherry and Billy Higgins and obviously shows the influence of Ornette. As for the interview on this Live in London cd, it was interesting but tends to drag a bit. Still when Sonny Rollins hits the right notes and takes some chances, it actually works."
