The Rolling Stones are back in the studio again

The Rolling Stones are already back in the studio again, according to saxophonist Courtney Pine.

The jazz musician has revealed that he recorded with Mick Jagger just weeks ago, only three months after the Stones released their 25th studio album ‘Foreign Tongues’.

Speaking on BBC Radio 3’s Private Passions, in an episode due to air this Sunday (October 11), Pine said: “I’ve just done another session a couple of weeks ago with him [Jagger] for The Rolling Stones.”.

Pine has worked with Jagger before, playing saxophone on his 1993 solo album ‘Wandering Spirit’. Recalling those sessions, he said: “I played on one version of Mick Jagger’s solo album and they threw it away and then I get a call, ‘Can I come out to LA tomorrow and play on another version of the same album?’ Mick Jagger.

Não houve confirmação oficial de que a última sessão seja destinada ao próximo álbum dos Stones, mas a notícia segue Jagger revelando ao NME em junho que ele já havia começado a escrever novamente antes mesmo de 'Foreign Tongues' ter sido lançado.

Ao ser questionado se o álbum poderia se tornar o segundo de uma série de três discos dos Stones, ele respondeu: “Sim, poderia ser um trio [de discos]… Eu já comecei a escrever músicas de qualquer forma.”.

He added: “They could be for other people though. When you write a song, you sometimes decide, ‘That’s not for me, but it could be for the Chili Peppers’ or whatever.

Keith Richards also said earlier this year that Jagger “won’t bloody stop” making new music, explaining that the momentum generated while making ‘Foreign Tongues’ had encouraged them to keep working.

In a three-and-a-half-star review, NME described the record as “fresh and refined”, adding: “Mick, Keith and Ronnie have hit a surprising purple patch – and if you believe the eternally energetic entertainer’s claim that he’s already writing the follow-up to ‘Foreign Tongues’, there’s plenty more left in the tank.”.

Falando à NME neste verão, ele afirmou: “Não acho que haverá shows este ano, mas espero fazer alguns no próximo ano para os Stones.”.

Ele também deixou a porta aberta para outra aparição no Glastonbury em 2027. Apesar de lembrar algumas das dificuldades práticas do show principal dos Stones em 2013, ele disse: “Do I wanna do it again.

Ronnie Wood offered a similarly enthusiastic view when he spoke to NME earlier this month.

Asked specifically about the prospect of returning to Glastonbury, Wood added: “I would play that in the drop of a hat, but everybody doesn’t think like that. I think we should do a gig, just like you do.

And I think we should do a tour, but it’s easier said than done.”.
