Sonny Rollins Quartet - Moritat (MackThe Knife)

Sunday Jazz Continues...checking out this Sonny Rollins Quartet....with a cut called Moritat...or street ballad in German...also can be a murderous deed....

..so...in essence the definition covers this song either way...its a smooth street ballad...plus Sonny and the crew are killing it!! 

...it's also  known as  "Ballad of Mack the Knife" (Die Moritat von Mackie Messer) the original smooth criminal, not the one mentioned by Michael Jackson!!

...anyway...the Sonny Rollins Quartet are Sonny Rollins (tenor sax), Tommy Flanagan (piano), Doug Watkins (bass), Max Roach (drums) ...that's a nice crew!! check this out!!
