Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' first recording after ending a surprising three-year retirement found the great saxophonist sounding very similar to how he had played in 1959, although he would soon start investigating freer forms

Sonny Rollins Bridge Project, New York, New York. The project was fortunate to have two remarkable filmmakers and four amazing musicians give of their time to help us capture this dream: to have Sonny Rollins’ music played once again on The Bridge. They all knocked it out of the park. Here is some rough footage of what we did that day. Extremely grateful to Negin Farsad, Jessica Edwards, Jovan Alexandre, Erik Lawrence & Gene Ghee for their time and talents.

Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). This odd habit led to his comeback album being named "The Bridge". A quartet record featuring guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Ben Riley, invariably this album and it's story is the stuff of legends, and deservedly so. Rollins is on fire throughout- playing mostly standards (with only two originals), it sounds as if he was itching to get in the studio again, his playing is powerful, focused ("Without a Song"), lyrical (one of the definitive readings of "God Bless the Child") and emotive ("Where Are You?").
