Album of The Week; "The Bridge" - Sonny Rollins (Patreon)

A stunningly beautiful, intimate sounding album. Sonny Rollins working his magic on the tenor sax, accompanied by the inimitable Jim Hall on guitar, Bob Cranshaw on upright bass and Ben Riley on drums. The arrangements are sublime, the tasteful musicianship on display from Jim Hall is spell-bounding. Just listen to his guitar parts on the cover of Billie Holiday's "God Bless The Child" linked above 👆 and on the track "Without a Song";

You can very clearly hear the profound influence of Jim Hall on Julian Lage's playing. And the warm tone of the single P90 es175 is something else 👌🏻

Needless to say, some Jim Hall lessons will be coming soon so watch this space! 😉
