Scintillating Album of Originals and Standards Features Guitarist Jim Hall, Fits Rollins in Quartet Setting
Audiophile Sound: SACD Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the Original Master Tapes for the Purest Sound Quality Possible
How badly did Sonny Rollins want to refine his playing? The saxophonist shocked the world in 1959 and took a break, returning in 1962 with this splendiferous set, named after the Williamsburg Bridge, where he practiced by himself. HeÂ’s paired here with guitarist Jim Hall, whose communicative lines, along with RollinsÂ’ esteemed solos and melancholy patterns, gives The Bridge lofty status. The quartet tackles both originals and standards such as Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child" and Cole Porter's "You Do Something to Me," turning up aces every time.
