There Will Never Be Another You (album)

There Will Never Be Another You is a live album by jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins, recorded at the Museum Of Modern Art in New York City on June 17, 1965 and released on the Impulse! label in 1978, featuring a performance by Rollins with Tommy Flanagan, Bob Cranshaw, Billy Higgins and Mickey Roker.^[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Rollins was in a strolling mood and he wanders all over the stage which means that he is off-mike much of the time. His playing on these five standards (which includes a 16-minute version of the title tune) is fine, but the erratic recording quality makes this one of the lesser Rollins albums".^[2] Music critic Robert Christgau praised the album, writing of the title track "The man is expansive here, too—casually interpolating rapt modal runs into his thoughtful thematic improvisations on the 16-minute title tour de force..."^[3]
