Sonny Rollins-Live at Ronnie Scott's London 1968

This one's for Andy ... and anyone else who might enjoy it... musically if not quite sonically this is very fine... a nice if somewhat frustratingly flawed, but very listenable document of Rollins playing with British Legends Oxley and Tracey , whom i understand were virtually the house rhythm section at Ronnie Scott's in the Mid to late 60's, along with a variable array of Bassists including Rick Laird, Jeff Clyne, and Chris Lawrence.
