That album was actually recorded with Miles' Davis band at the time - 'Trane, Philly Joe, Red and Paul Chambers. So it was 5 working junkies in a room. Miles and Sonny did NOT get on. Of course, the list of people Miles did not get along with could fill a book. Bonus fact: Sonny Rollins was the basis for the Simpson's character Bleeding Gums Murphy. As for the music, I can feel you on this. Sonny can drift into the "pleasant not challenging" category a bit. So much so that I used him for background music at my wedding reception.
Hi Dan! I was wondering maybe you would like to listen to the absolute best album of 2024, that being the Imaginal Disk from a duo called Magdalena Bay! It's everything that pop aspires to be, it's heartfelt, it's extremely well produced, it's outstandingly beautiful and I think there's a fair chance you'll really like it! I wish you all the best in the new year Dan, cheers!

I read something about Sonny Rollins getting clean, and unduly worrying that it would affect his performances.
