#1 Sonny Rollins

Post by IslandPink »

Ok chaps, you've all been keeping a bit quiet, but I think some of you must have seen the Sonny Rollins evening on BBC4 last Friday .

I've been working my through the recorded info, and I have to say that some of it will have to be filed under 'Highlights of the 20th century' .

The 1974 concert from Ronnie Scott's looks to be one for the ages. The piece immediately after the bagpipe item ( which was a great & interesting ensemble piece in itself ) was truly cosmic and had me transfixed.

Let me know if you noticed anything .

I watched it, I agree, it was fab. Can't imagine where the Fast Show got their Jazz Club from :-)

Coooooooooooooooool stuff!
