Sonny Rollins - Volume 1 - Blue Note Classic LP

Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series, 180g Mono LP, All-Analog

Returning to Blue Note as a leader in 1956, Sonny Rollins delivered a classic session with Volume 1: four hard-swinging originals showcasing the Saxophone Colossus's robust sound and seemingly limitless improvisational creativity, backed by a top-shelf quintet of Donald Byrd (trumpet), Wynton Kelly (piano), Gene Ramey (bass), and Max Roach (drums). The album's centerpiece is a stunning ballad reading of "How Are Things in Glocca Morra?" from the Broadway show Finian's Rainbow.
