Another after-1966 Sonny Rollins CD I enjoy is "Old Flames," recorded in 1993, which is pretty much a standards session with Tommy Flanagan on piano, Jack DeJohnette on drums and arrangements by Jimmy Heath.
Mr. Rollins plays with a brass choir (flugelhorns, French horn, tuba and trombone) on two cuts, "Darn That Dream" and "Prelude to a Kiss." Not a lot of real lengthy improvisations, but some good shorter and mid-sized runs. This is about as close as it gets to a "tranquil" Sonny Rollins disk.
