Our Take

In the immortal words of Sonny Rollins himself, "What the heck, let's have some fun." And fun is exactly what you'll find on his latest album, "Live... Under The Sky 83." The legendary saxophonist and his quartet deliver a spirited performance that effortlessly blends tradition with innovation.

From the moment Rollins takes the stage, his saxophone skills are on full display, mesmerizing listeners with his virtuosic solos and thrilling improvisations. The quartet, comprised of some of the finest musicians in the game, provides a perfect backdrop for Rollins to shine, with each member bringing their own unique flair to the mix.

Tracks like "St. Thomas" and "Blue Seven" are masterclasses in jazz improvisation, with Rollins effortlessly weaving in and out of complex chord changes and intricate melodies. The chemistry between the band members is undeniable, and their telepathic communication is evident in every note they play.

But what sets this live recording apart from the pack is the infectious energy and joy that permeates every track. It's clear that Rollins and his quartet are having the time of their lives on stage, and their enthusiasm is contagious. So go ahead, grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let the smooth sounds of Sonny Rollins Quartet transport you to jazz nirvana. Trust me, you won't regret it.
