'Sonny, Please'
Sonny, Please is Sonny Rollins first studio recording in five years. The CD is released on his own label, named after his own tune, Doxy
Sonny, Please was recorded after the band had just returned from a sold-out tour of Japan and Rollins felt the group had really come together after the string of performances. The seven tracks are a mix of originals by Rollins - Sonny, Please, Nishi, Remembering Tommy and Park Palace Parade - plus three old standards - Someday I'll Find You, Stairway to the Stars and Serenade.
The album is available to download or buy on CD at website to accompany the release, http://www.sonnyplease.com/.
