No Problem - Sonny Rollins

Advantages: Sublime music and musicianship
Disadvantages: None

...This is the original score to the 60s film Alfie, composed and played by Sonny Rollins, one of the greatest tenor sax players. I watched this film several times before really appreciating the score, being so intent on the story and film locations, and later checked yes, it was Rollins playing, and he also wrote it.

Advantages: good listening and I will never become bored of it
Disadvantages: bad language

...This is a great album. I think this is an album for everybody who likes rock music, it contains good, rythmic and grasping tunes. I think the best song on the album is My generation because it talks about the generationss gone by and the new generations coming up. One down point of this album is the track Hotdog only because it has explict lyrics in just about every line, but i suppose that is what makes the album what it is. My rating out of 10 - 9.5/10! ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN!... Read review
