Sonny Rollins first album after ending his six-year retirement is a particularly strong effort.  The highpoint is a ten-minute version of "Skylark" that has a long unaccompanied section by the great tenor.  Other memorable selections include "The Everywhere Calypso" and "Playing in the Yard." Rollins plays soprano on "Poinciana" and is heard using electronics (George Cables' electric piano) for the first time but this music is not all that different from what he was playing prior to his retirement. ~ Scott Yanow, AMG
