CD of the Day
Sonny Rollins: "Road Shows, Vol. 1" (Doxy/EmArcy) 2008
Featuring: Clifton Anderson, Roy Haynes, Mark Soskin, Al Foster, Victor Lewis, Bobby Broom, Jerome Harris, Bob Cranshaw, Victor Lewis, Steve Jordan et al.
Highlights: "Best Wishes", "More Than You Know", "Blossom" (maybe the best track on the album), "Easy Living" and "Nice Lady".
According to renowned jazz historian Gary Giddins, on his liner notes, "Road Shows, vol.1 is one of the finest Sonny Rollins albums ever released... In concert, a nearly irrational spontaneous magic is permissible. This record is full of such magic."
