The impulse of a modern jazz giant
A masterpiece from Sonny Rollins' Impulse label days.
Released in 1976, this album beautifully combines his powerful tenor saxophone with a modal approach. The tension of improvisation coexists with structured musical composition, demonstrating the balance between freedom and discipline inherent in jazz. The dialogue with the rhythm section is always stimulating, and Rollins's musical exploration permeates the entire album. This is an important recording that conveys the essence of modern jazz.
