No recordings exist from this period after the private tapes that were made during his March 1959 European tour. His subsequent recordings were the January-February 1962 sessions that would produce the album The Bridge. This marked the first of Rollins legendary musical sabbaticals. Living on Manhattan s Lower East Side, he was often spotted on the nearby Williamsburg Bridge at night, deep in a rigorous practice session. This vinyl album is presented here featuring on the cover David McLane s classic photo of Sonny on the bridge. 'At the risk of being unable to give Rollins a higher numerical rating when he surpasses this album (and I have every confidence that he will) this set still has to be placed in the superlative class.' ***** Down Beat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40691299844193,"sku":"8436542017053","price":14.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_975645_1341715_jpg.jpg?v=1774901005","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/8436542017053-bridge-spa","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
