This is the first album Sonny Rollins recorded for BlueNote records, with the great Donald Byrd, Wynton Kelly, Gene Ramey and Max Roach.
A hard-bop classic from 1957 (Recorded on Dec. 1956), in which Rollins continues the legacy of the Brownie & Roach quintet, of which he was part.
In the coming years Rollins will invent the "power trio", take a two year break from recording and performing, practice like mad, change direction and come back as a revised Rollins, but in the meantime, let's enjoy this fantastic album.
