Trio & Quartet · Paris 1965 · Copenhagen 1968
by Sonny Rollins
Sonny Rollins’ “Trio & Quartet Live in Paris 1965 and Copenhagen 1968” is a Jazz lover’s dream. It’s like finding a hidden treasure in your grandma’s attic. Rollins’ saxophone, often solo, weaves a tapestry of sound, transforming classics into a cascade of inventive runs and robust low notes. The Copenhagen gig, despite its raw sound, is like a diamond in the rough, with standout performances on Coltrane’s “Naima” and a marathon 48-minute rendition of Miles Davis’ “Four”. Despite the sound quality, this double CD is like a time capsule, offering a glimpse into Rollins’ golden era.
