Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

Rollins And Hall, After All

Thanks to Terry Teachout for alerting me to the existence on YouTube of video performances by the great early 1960s Sonny Rollins Quartet with Jim Hall. As I lamented in the previous exhibit, that band is absent from Rollins’s own web site. The clips are from Ralph Gleason’s Jazz Casual series on Public Broadcasting. You will see four of them, totalling more than twenty minutes of the group playing “God Bless The Child,” “The Bridge,” and “If Ever I Should Leave You,” the latter in two installments.
In his artsjournal.com About Last Nigtht blog, Terry has built a list of links to videos of music in a variety of genres, a fine public service. Scroll down his right-hand column until you come to the Videos heading. Bravo, TT.
