The Rolling Stones<\/a> are already back in the studio again, according to saxophonist Courtney Pine.<\/p>\n

The jazz musician has revealed that he recorded with Mick Jagger<\/a> just weeks ago, only three months after the Stones released their 25th studio album \u2018Foreign Tongues\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking on BBC Radio 3\u2019s Private Passions, in an episode due to air this Sunday (October 11), Pine said: \u201cI\u2019ve just done another session a couple of weeks ago with him [Jagger] for The Rolling Stones.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMick\u2019s an amazing artist,\u201d he added. \u201cThat whole pop world is completely different to anything that I know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pine has worked with Jagger before, playing saxophone on his 1993 solo album \u2018Wandering Spirit\u2019. Recalling those sessions, he said: \u201cI played on one version of Mick Jagger\u2019s solo album and they threw it away and then I get a call, \u2018Can I come out to LA tomorrow and play on another version of the same album?\u2019 Mick Jagger? Of course!\u201d<\/p>\n

There has been no official confirmation that the latest session is intended for the next\u00a0Stones album, but the news follows Jagger revealing to NME<\/a> in June<\/a> that he had already begun writing again before \u2018Foreign Tongues\u2019 had even been released.<\/p>\n

Asked whether the album could become the middle instalment of a run of three Stones records, he replied: \u201cYeah, it could be a trio [of records]\u2026 I\u2019ve already started writing songs anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThey could be for other people though. When you write a song, you sometimes decide, \u2018That\u2019s not for me, but it could be for the Chili Peppers<\/a>\u2019 or whatever.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very open-minded to it. I\u2019ve got a lot of stuff, and not all of it\u2019s suitable for The Rolling Stones. It shouldn\u2019t stop me writing them, you know. If you get an idea, just write it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keith Richards<\/a> also said earlier this year that Jagger \u201cwon\u2019t bloody stop\u201d making new music<\/a>, explaining that the momentum generated while making \u2018Foreign Tongues\u2019 had encouraged them to keep working.<\/p>\n

\u2018Foreign Tongues\u2019 was released on July 10 and went on to become The Rolling Stones\u2019 15th UK Number One album<\/a>, drawing them level with The Beatles<\/a> on the all-time list.<\/p>\n

In a three-and-a-half-star review<\/a>, NME described the record as \u201cfresh and refined\u201d, adding: \u201cMick, Keith and Ronnie have hit a surprising purple patch \u2013 and if you believe the eternally energetic entertainer\u2019s claim that he\u2019s already writing the follow-up to \u2018Foreign Tongues\u2019, there\u2019s plenty more left in the tank.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The question of when the Stones will take their recent material on the road remains less clear. The band scrapped plans for a UK and European stadium tour in 2026<\/a> after Richards was unable to \u201ccommit\u201d, although Jagger has repeatedly said he is keen to return to the stage.<\/p>\n

Speaking to <\/a>NME<\/a> this summer<\/a>, he said: \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019ll be shows this year, but I hope to do some next year for the Stones.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also left the door open to another Glastonbury<\/a> appearance in 2027. Despite recalling some of the practical difficulties of the Stones\u2019 2013 headline set, he said: \u201cDo I wanna do it again? Oh, I\u2019ll say yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ronnie Wood<\/a> offered a similarly enthusiastic view when he spoke to <\/a>NME<\/a> earlier this month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen my compadres say, \u2018Let\u2019s go\u2019, I\u2019ll be ready,\u201d he said, while acknowledging that the three members were not yet equally keen. \u201cI know Mick is busting to go, and Keith is not busting to go. And you\u2019ve got to have everybody\u2019s enthusiasm to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked specifically about the prospect of returning to Glastonbury, Wood added: \u201cI would play that in the drop of a hat, but everybody doesn\u2019t think like that. I think we should do a gig, just like you do. And I think we should do a tour, but it\u2019s easier said than done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Rolling Stones are already back in the studio again, according to saxophonist Courtney Pine.
