Bridge Quartet plays: ‘The Bridge’ – Sonny Rollins
Inspired by the iconic collaboration between saxophonist Sonny Rollins and guitarist Jim Hall, immortalised on record ‘The Bridge’, the Scandinavian-British Bridge Quartet was formed by guitarist James Girling after he moved to Norway following a decade in Manchester.
Bringing together legendary ex-North-West saxophonist Dave Edge and a formidable young rhythm section of Danish drummer Emil Norman and Norwegian double bassist Andreas Svabø, this all-Oslo-based quartet pays homage to 1962 albums ‘The Bridge’ and ‘What’s New’ recorded by saxophone colossus Rollins’ band with Jim Hall, Bob Cranshaw and Ben Riley.
