Sonny Rollins - The Bridge

Finally got my new (to me) turntable up and running and spinning a disc I got on vacation last month. Beautiful sound from both. I was fortunate to find an original pressing, which looked barely played for $8 in Tuscon NM. I feel that was a good price, maybe just a fair price, but I am over the moon about my new turntable. Only kink left to fix is the return action of the tone arm.

The title of the album sounds much more like Sun Ra, but it´s pure Max Roach with Odean Pope, Cecil Bridgewater, Calvin Hill, and they Play some bop standards like "Straight No Chaser" "Good Bait" (in 3/4 time), Tricotism (bass feature), two ballads (If you could see me now, I remember Clifford), and 2 Max Roach Originals.

Don't know about the book which I'm sure is very good, but the CD sure is excellent. :tup

I met Clark Terry at a gig six years ago and told him I'd been reading biographies of British jazz musicians. He said there'd be another coming out - of his Dad - and he'd be writing it. I promised to buy a copy.^_^

Yes, it's very good. Stan, a very introverted character, seems to have kept detailed diaries throughout much of his life. Very useful for a biographer!

Is it possible that this was the only Tina Brooks album that was issued during his lifetime? As much as I remember the others were issued after his death. I think, "Back to the Tracks" got a cataloge number but was not issued. 

All his recorded Music is very fine, also all his stuff as a sideman, above all I like very much the Kenny Burrel "Five Spot" where Brooks is especially fine.
