Once upon a time, a respected, idiosyncratic jazz saxophonist decided he'd had enough of life in the fast lane and withdrew for a couple of years, but could be seen and heard on a bridge in New York, playing to the wind, the stars and any nocturnal passers-by. {A few years later our own Lol Coxhill did a similar thing on Waterloo Bridge in London. I know ~ I used to see him there.}
When the musician 'came down' from the bridge he recorded an album entitled ~ well, what do you think he called it?
There is a special feel to this 1962 record, especially when you know the above story. Sparely accompanied by a handpicked trio of Jim Hall on guitar, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and either Ben Riley {on all but one track} or Harry T Saunders on drums, Sonny Rollins plays some of the freshest, least sentimental, most lucent sax you're ever likely to hear. All that night air must have cleared his mind.
