All together, more than two hours of live Sonny Rollins, recorded from 1965 to 2007. Nothing like this has ever been sold before.
Doxy Records, in association with Universal Music, has released a compilation of truly amazing performances by Sonny Rollins, Road Shows, Vol. 1. Seven previously unreleased recordings are included that capture the kind of excitement that only Sonny Rollins can create in a live performance. Road Shows, Vol. 1 includes three Rollins originals that have never been previously recorded, as well as one track from 2007's celebrated Carnegie Hall concert.
"Road Shows, Vol. 1 is one of the finest Sonny Rollins
albums ever released. . . . In concert, a nearly irrational spontaneous
magic is permissible. This record is full of such magic.”
Gary Giddins
