Sonny Rollins - Holding the Stage: Road Shows Vol. 4

Live archive release from the jazz legend. Holding the Stage (Road Shows, Vol. 4) is pure Sonny Rollins - it is the essence of Sonny Rollins as a musician.

The music is some of his most expressive live recordings, from 1979 at the Pori Jazz festival in Finland to 2012 in Marseille and Prague. The album features a stunning five minute solo performance, a groovy version of "Don't Stop the Carnival" and a beautiful "In a Sentimental Mood".

The 10 tracks on the album simply confirm: Sonny Rollins is one of a kind, a master improviser and unique musician. Over the span of his storied and still-unfolding 65-year career, Sonny Rollins has established himself as one of the giants of jazz - a towering influence, a trailblazer, a powerfully creative force in music.
