Guitarist Bobby Broom's trio of more than 20 years' standing (bassist Dennis Carroll and drummer Kobie Watkins) convenes for this deep dive into the songbook of Sonny Rollins, with whom both Broom and Watkins had worked on stage and on record. In addition to "Alfie's Theme," "Doxy," and the first movement of "The Freedom Suite," the trio essays less obvious but equally rewarding choices such as "Allison," "Paul's Pal," "Kim," "Valse Hot," "Strode Rode," and "Pent-Up House."
