SONNY ROLLINS - WHAT'S NEW? (LP)

Sonny Rollins What's New? On Vinyl LP

What's New? features the tenor giant blowing over uptempo Latin-based rhythms. The core group of Jim Hall on guitar, Bob Cranshaw on bass and Ben Riley on drums is augmented here by larger arrangements that mix together bossa nova and calypso rhythms, which forge a surprisingly great background for Rollins' gutsy tenor.Tthe longer-than-usual tracks on the album showcase a whole new side of Rollins' talents that were later reprised on Latin sessions during the '70s. Titles include "Bluesong," "Jungoso," "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes" and "If Ever I Would Leave You" and "Brown Skin Girl."
