First Pressing in "Living Stereo" from 1962. Named after the Williamsburg Bridge where he took his saxophone to the to practice solo for 3 years. - Rarebro Records

Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' first recording after ending a surprising three-year retirement found the great saxophonist sounding very similar to how he had played in 1959, although he would soon start investigating freer forms. In a pianoless quartet with guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Ben Riley, Rollins explores four standards (including "Without a Song" and "God Bless the Child") plus two fiery originals (highlighted by the title cut). The interplay between Rollins and Hall is consistently impressive, making this CD a near-classic and a very successful comeback. This item is from a private jazz collection that spans from the 1950's through the early 1970's. MOST of this collection is in NM condition and marked as promotional copies. The collection is from a vocalist who was involved with theater here in NYC in the 1950's & 1960's.

We believe the records in this collection were obtained through the music business as they are either marked as promotional or are mint first pressings. 1st pressings contain the brightest, clearest, best sound as they were the first to be pressed off the master stamper. These records are in stunning shape and are a highly recommended upgrade even if you already have this title.
