Audio Remasterer: George Horn. Liner Note Author: Neil Tesser. Photographer: Phil Bray. Many Sonny Rollins compilations focus on his work from the 1950s and '60s, which is a shame given that Rollins continued to produce interesting, innovative work all through the '70s, '80s, '90s, and beyond. The saxophone legend recorded off and on for the Milestone label during those decades, and this PROFILES set collects work made between the early '70s and 2000. Rollins not only maintains his superior standards as a composer and improviser on these cuts, but he also shows himself to be an adventurous arranger, as many of the cuts employ electric instrumentation and auxiliary percussion. Full of great, definition-testing music, PROFILES is a great way to sample the lesser known part of Rollins's prolific career. A bonus disc containing selections from other PROFILES discs (including work from McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Smith, and Joe Henderson, among others) sweetens the deal. As part of the Milestone Profiles series, tenor saxophone legend Sonny Rollins is spotlighted with material recorded between 1972 and 2000. The compilation is especially interesting given that Rollins incorporates electric bass on the majority of these cuts, not to mention the occasional use of 12-string electric guitar and kalimba. Also appearing on these dates is an extraordinary roster of musicians, including Clifton Anderson, Jack DeJohnette, Tommy Flanagan, George Cables, Tony Williams, Al Foster, and Bob Cranshaw. Milestone Profiles presents the tip of the iceberg of the saxophonist's recordings for that label. Anyone who is only familiar with Rollins' Blue Note or Fantasy sessions will be amazed at the consistency and level of creativity captured on these sides. [There is a bonus disc included in the package that features cuts from the other volumes in the Profiles series.] ~ Al Campbell Producer: Lucille Rollins; Orrin Keepnews; Sonny Rollins; Nick Phillips (Compilation)   Compilation Appearances Milstone Jazzstars In Concert Working Girl Complete Rodgers & Hart Songbo Priceless Jazz Sampler Riverside Records Story Play Duke Ellington-Caravans Montreal Jazz Festival Ken Burns Jazz-Story Of America Ken Burns Jazz Ken Burns Jazz Nea Jazz Masters Contemporary Records Story It's De Lovely: Authentic Cole Porter Collection Jazz Bar Vol 2 Harold Arlen Centennial Celebration Basquiat's Journey Through Jazz Prestige Profiles Prestige Profiles New York For Lovers 1105 House That Trane Built: Story of Impulse Records Milestone Profile (Bonus Cd) At Music Inn Vol 2 Cafe Jazz Jazz In The City Roy Haynes:jazz Roy Haynes:jazz Very Best Of Prestige (Prestige 60Th Bluesology:anthology/atlantic Years 1   Associated Artists and Works Blakey, Art Brooks, Hadda Brown, Clifford Brown, Clifford Burton, Gary Burton, Gary (Vibes) Cherry, Don (Jazz) Davis, Miles Davis, Miles Davis, Miles Davis, Miles Davis, Miles The Classic Prestige Sessions, 1951-1956 ~ Davis, Miles Davis, Miles Gabel, Denis Duets: Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt ~ Gillespie, Dizzy Sonny Side Up ~ Gillespie, Dizzy Gillespie, Dizzy Hawkins, Coleman That's Him ~ Lincoln, Abbey Lincoln, Abbey Lincoln, Abbey Modern Jazz Quartet Modern Jazz Quartet Monk, Thelonious Monk, Thelonious Monk, Thelonious Monk, Thelonious Monk, Thelonious Alfie (Sdtk) ~ Original Soundtrack Alfie ~ Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Alfie ~ Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max   Technical Info Release Date : 06/06/2006 Original Release Date : 2006 Catalog ID : 30023 Label : Fantasy (distributor) Number of Discs : 2 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00888072300231    Related Videos Randy Jackson: Randy Jack...
