Mark Soskin

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.

The day may come when the well runs dry, but that day is not upon us. The fourth installment of Sonny Rollins' Road Shows series has arrived, bringing more beauties from the archives to light while bearing out that the genius of the Saxophone Colossus is best demonstrated on the stage. That's where the magic has always happened for him, and that's why these offerings have been so well-received. The first three volumes are already considered to be indispensable items in the storied Rollins canon, and this one stands to join them.

Reachin' was released in 1976, when the Mizell brothers' stronghold in the fusion market was weakening and they were begining to lean toward more gospel and disco-oriented acts. However, some of the material on this set can be classified as Larry and Fonce Mizell at their best. Roger Glenn was a distinctive session flutist on all the Mizell-produced classics that did not feature Bobbi Humphrey. His debut set included the fast and furious Latin-influenced classic "Rio" and the plodding but infectious "Don't Leave." This album is an essential purchase for all fans of the great Mizell brothers, Larry and Fonce.

Unreleased live broadcast from master drummer (Miles Davis, Mahavishnu Orchestra) recorded Chicago Illinois, March 4th 1978.
