Sonny Rollins: Road Shows vol.1 (Emarcy 2008)
Denne platen ble en positiv overraskelse.
Ikke alt som kommer ut av eldre liveopptak med diverse jazzlegender er like bra.
Men denne platen som inneholder opptak mellom 1980 og 2007 kan anbefales.
For en musiker denne mannen er, og det i en alder da de fleste er over the top.
Til info så er han født i 1930, dvs han er mellom 50 og 77 på disse opptakene.
(må vurdere en tur til MoldeJazz i år da han spiller der for første gang)
