The Bridge

Sonny Rollins recorded The Bridge after returning to the jazz scene in late 1961, following a two-year layoff to practice and reflect during a time of great stylistic upheaval in the music.

If the sabbatical added to his instrumental command and his musical understanding, the triumphal return confirmed that this was the same authoritative player of the classic albums like 'Saxophone Colossus', 'Way Out West' and 'Village Vanguard'.
