Music reviews of Road Shows: Vol. 1
Music Review: One of Sonny's best
Rating: 4 Stars
Sonny Rollins' reluctance to release live discs is as well-known as it is unfortunate. Some of his best material was recorded live, including 2001's "Without A Song". "Road Shows" is a compilation of songs taken from different concerts. The backing band is different for each song, but Clifton Anderson plays a lot of trombone, and long-time bassist Bob Cranshaw is the most common bassist. Sonny's playing, as you'd expect, is excellent. Any Rollins fan should buy this CD. There a few weaknesses, though with the music which keep it at 4-stars. "Some Enchanted Evening" doesn't enchant me. "Blossom", which very good on the whole, overdoes the main riff. Rollins' use of electric bass and sidemen usually get criticized by critics. I don't mind the electric bass -- it's nice to hear the bass loud and clear. The backing band is capable, but there are places where the music behind Rollins' sax is a little too neat and tidy. Small reservations aside, this disc is truly a tour de force of saxophone, and it's still a high-ranked 4-star disc.
Description of Road Shows: Vol. 1
Road Shows, Vol. 1 is the exciting inaugural release in a planned series of outstanding live Sonny Rollins recordings from the last 30-plus years. The seven tracks on the new CD, culled from the Carl Smith collection and Sonny Rollins s own personal soundboard recordings, were recorded in the U.S., Japan, France, and Sweden. Featuring the saxophonist with a variety of sidemen, including Al Foster, Mark Soskin, Clifton Anderson, Bob Cranshaw, and Stephen Scott, Road Shows captures the Saxophone Colossus in full flight, dazzling audiences around the world.General CDs
