Sonny Rollins - Dancing In The Dark (1988)

personnel :

Sonny Rollins - tenor sax
Clifton Anderson - trombone
Mark Soskin - keyboards
Jerome Harris - bass, guitar
Marvin "Smitty" Smith - drums

The better-than-usual repertoire (including the calypso "Duke or Iron," "Dancing in the Dark" and the Warren & Dubin number "I'll String Along with You") makes this outing by Sonny Rollins's usual band (with trombonist Clifton Anderson,, keyboardist Mark Soskin, electric bassist Jerome Harris and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith) one of the more interesting Rollins albums of recent times. Although not up to the level of his best live performances, this studio album is quite enjoyable and gives one a clear idea as to how Sonny Rollins sounded in the 1980s.~Scott Yanow
