Sonny Rollins - On Impulse - Acoustic Sounds Series LP

180-Gram Vinyl, Acoustic Sounds Series, Gatefold Tip-On Jacket

In 1965 and 1966, tenor giant Sonny Rollins issued three albums for the Impulse! label — his last until he re-emerged from a self-imposed retirement in 1972. On this July 8, 1965 date he attacks five standards with a quartet featuring pianist Ray Bryant, bassist Walter Booker and drummer Mickey Roker, digging deeply into pulse and rhythm and leaving melody to take care of itself. A winner through and through.
