A real milestone: "East Broadway Run Down" by Sonny Rollins, was recorded on May 9, 1966 at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, and released in January 1967 by Impulse! Published. The album, produced by Bob Thiele, represents one of Rollins' most remarkable experiments with free jazz, according to The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz, and illustrates "the maximum extent in which he incorporated noise elements into his playing." Many critics described "East Broadway Run Down" as one of the greatest jewels of the American tenor saxophonist from the 60s, which is certainly also thanks to the great cast: Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Jimmy Garrison (bass) and Elvin Jones (drums). "East Broadway Run Down" became Rollins' last album before industry pressures caused him to take a six-year break. Although the piano chair is unoccupied, the album sparkles with energy from the first to the last minute. It is said that Garrison and Jones have been used to playing together since the days of John Coltrane. Sometimes you suspect that Elvin Jones has four hands and four feet, while Jimmy Garrison treats his double bass like a big guitar. From the very beginning, the driving rhythm challenges Rollins' tenor saxophone – a challenge he accepts and wins!
