East Broadway Run Down
East Broadway Run Down is a 1966 album by jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins, his last album before industry pressures led him to take a six-year hiatus.[3] The album represents one of his more notable experiments with free jazz,[4] according to The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz illustrating "the furthest extent to which he incorporated noise elements into his playing".[5] It has been critically described as among his 60s "jewels".[3]
