GOINGS ON ABOUT TOWN
NOVEMBER 18 – 24, 2020
In an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus, many New York City venues are closed.
Here’s a selection of culture to be found around town, as well as online and streaming.
Though Sonny Rollins, at the age of ninety, is no longer playing the saxophone, his legacy is still growing. On
Record Store Day (Nov. 27), an annual celebration of independently owned music shops, Resonance Records,
a prime label for rediscovered jazz classics, issues the three-LP set “Rollins in Holland.” It features expansive
concert and radio performances with the bassist Ruud Jacobs and the drummer Han Bennink from 1967, and
showcases—in cuts up to twenty-two minutes—Rollins’s freely associative artistry liberated from studio norms.
