Sonny Rollins Alfie (Acoustic Sounds) Limited Deluxe Gatefold 180gram Vinyl LP

Overview:

Alfie was released in 1966 as the soundtrack to the British film of the same name. This six-cut date was arranged and conducted by Oliver Nelson, featuring a mix of musicians supporting Rollins including Kenny Burrell (guitar), J.J. Johnson (trombone) and Phil Woods (alto sax), among others. Rollins attempts to capture the textures of life through his incisive and energetic playing, his coherent improvisations and variations on musical themes. While "Alfie's Theme" and its variants make the most lasting impression, "He's Younger Than You" is touching, laced with regret. And the sensual, relaxed "On Impulse" has a nice sense of immediacy. Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analogue tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.

Featured Tracks:

1. Alfie's Theme
2. He's Younger Than You Are
3. Street Runner With Child
4. Transition Theme for Minor Blues Or Little Malcolm Loves His Dad
5. On Impulse
6. Alfie's Theme Differently
