This was their first comeback album, released by RCA in 1962 after a three-year hiatus.
Three years of silence gave Rollins unwavering confidence and time to hone himself, and he reached a unique level in the world of tenor saxophone, in a way that was different from John Coltrane.
Featuring Jim Hall (guitar) and a piano-less arrangement, this is one of the greatest jazz works of the 1960s, symbolizing a unique worldview that sought to liberate itself from harmony.
