Rolling Stones reportedly record new material with Courtney Pine
Courtney Pine said on BBC Radio 3's Private Passions that he recorded with Mick Jagger for The Rolling Stones a few weeks ago. The session took place about three months after the band released its 25th album, Foreign Tongues. There is no official confirmation that the material is for a new Stones record, though Jagger has said he was already writing again.
Courtney Pine told BBC Radio 3's Private Passions, in an episode scheduled for Sunday, that he had recently joined Mick Jagger in a studio session for the Rolling Stones. Pine had previously contributed saxophone to Jagger's 1993 solo record Wandering Spirit, though a version from those sessions was discarded before he was invited to Los Angeles to record again.
The new session came roughly three months after the Stones issued their 25th studio album, Foreign Tongues, on July 10. That album became their 15th UK No. 1, tying them with the Beatles. Jagger has said he was writing again, while Keith Richards noted the band's momentum.
News of possible new Stones material may energize longtime fans and music retailers, while a guest appearance by a jazz saxophonist could draw crossover listeners. If confirmed, it might sustain interest in late-career rock releases and live touring speculation, affecting promoters, streaming platforms, and media coverage. But without official confirmation, impact may remain limited to fan discussion and anticipation.
