Sonny Rollins had recorded the confidently titled "Saxophone Colossus" album in 1956. But the saxophonist remained wracked with self-doubt. So, in the summer of 1959, he began to play on the windswept pedestrian walkway of New York's Williamsburg Bridge.
He ended up spending more than two years there, often for 14 or 15 hours a day. The resulting record, "The Bridge", took his soloing and improvisation to a new level.
桑尼·罗林斯在1956年录制了自信满满的专辑《Saxophone Colossus》，但这位萨克斯手依然深陷自我怀疑。1959年夏天，他开始在纽约威廉斯堡大桥风吹日晒的人行道上练习。
他最终在那里待了两年多，每天练习长达14到15个小时。由此诞生的专辑《The Bridge》将他的独奏和即兴水准提升到了新高度。
