Our Take

Rollins' latest album "Brass / Trio" is a delightful romp through jazz styles old and new, showcasing the saxophonist's unparalleled skill and versatility. From the opening track, Rollins effortlessly weaves intricate melodies over a bed of brass instruments, creating a rich tapestry of sound that captivates the listener from start to finish.

The brass section serves as a perfect foil to Rollins' saxophone, adding depth and texture to the music without overpowering the virtuoso's unique voice. Tracks like "Blues for Philly Joe" and "Opus Old" highlight this dynamic interplay, with each instrument taking turns to shine before coming together in a harmonious crescendo.

But it's not all serious business on "Brass / Trio" - Rollins injects plenty of humour and playful energy into the mix. Tracks like "Crazy Cat" and "Funky Monkey" are rollicking good fun, with their infectious grooves and playful melodies guaranteed to get your feet tapping and your spirits lifted.

In a genre often plagued by pretentiousness and over-seriousness, Rollins proves that jazz can still be fun, vibrant, and relevant in the 21st century. "Brass / Trio" is a testament to the saxophonist's enduring talent and creativity, and a must-listen for fans of inventive, engaging music. So grab your dancing shoes and prepare to be dazzled by the one and only Sonny Rollins!
