Entertainment Weekly (4/10/92, p.61) - "..the greatest living tenor saxophonist.." - Rating: A-
Down Beat (2/92, p.44) - 3 Stars - Good

Title Note

Personnel: Sonny Rollins (tenor saxophone); Roy Hargrove (trumpet); Clifton Anderson (trombone); Mark Soskin (piano); Jerome Harris (guitar); Bob Cranshaw (electric bass); Steve Jordan, Jack DeJohnette, Al Foster (drums).

Recorded at Clinton Recording Studios, New York on August 10, 17, 24 & 27, 1991.

Recorded during four all-star dates (featuring such names as trumpeter Roy Hargrove and drummer Jack DeJohnette) in August, 1991, as Rollins was entering his fifth decade as the world's greatest living tenor saxophonist, HERE'S TO THE PEOPLE is primarily a collection of standards essayed with his customary skill and imagination. Oscar Hammerstein and Jerome Kern's "Why Was I Born?" is the springboard for one of Rollins' most adventurous and dynamic solos of recent years, while the lovely "I Wish I Knew" finds him trading choruses with Hargrove in a way that showcases both men's dazzling improvisational skills. Similarly, Rollins explores the Gershwins' "Someone To Watch Over Me" with his uncanny melodic sense, making a an old chestnut sound fresh once more. Rollins' three originals, including the expansive title track, exude a similar charm. HERE'S TO THE PEOPLE is the sound of a man playing the music he loves.
