Sonny magic

"There's No Business Like Show Business" on "Worktime" and "Mona Lisa" on "Sonny Rollins +3" are two other nifty reworkings of familiar tunes by Mr. Rollins. I also like "Just Once" on "Dancing in the Dark," which is a Sonny Rollins CD that should be better appreciated.

If you really want to hear something, try "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" on "The Cutting Edge," which Mr. Rollins duets with jazz bagpiper Rufus Harley. (Yes, there is such a thing as a jazz bagpiper, but only one that I know of.)
