Don't Stop The Carnival
Sonny Rollins
The intensity and dazzling imagination exhibited by Sonny Rollins in live performance are legendary among jazz fans, and are much in evidence on this electrifying 1978 club recording. With his “very special friend” Donald Byrd on trumpet and flugelhorn and the great Tony Williams on drums, Rollins charges through a program of standards and originals, including his “Don’t Stop the Carnival,” which has since become a staple of his live sets.
with Donald Byrd, Tony Williams, Mark Soskin, Aurell Ray, Jerome Harris
