I was hoping to find some Rollins Band circa 1992 when they still had it going on. Unfortunately You Tube only had later period stuff and a lot of that was of dubious quality.
The upside is I did come across this marvelous collaboration of the Rollins rhythm section with the great John Zorn from the late '80s. It is what it is: thumping bass, frantic drumming and sax noise that roams from one end of the register to the other all building to an Ornette-esque crescendo. The camera work is pretty Zorn-centric, but he's the big dog so that's to be expected and the important thing is that the sound is terrific. Enjoy. (This is actually the last of 4 clips available, they're all good)
