This is a memorable album, Sonny Rollins' first recording for the Blue Note label in 1957.
This album captures the excitement of a period when he was establishing his overwhelming creativity and unique phrasing.
The album features Rollins' bold blowing, as well as his musical intelligence and structural ability. This is a valuable record that documents the process of his growth into a "giant of the saxophone" in the history of modern jazz.
