Remastered and Reissued As Part of the Blue Note 75th Anniversary Vinyl Reissue Campaign

In jazz history, Sonny Rollins ranks among tenor-saxophone giants like Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Ben Webster and John Coltrane in talent and influence. In his dazzling 60-year career at the top, Rollins has balanced melodic development with unpredictable phrases, infusing his innovative ideas with his memorable wit.

J.J. Johnson shared the front line with his tenor master, Sonny Rollins, for this exceptional 1957 session that showcases a unique reworking of "Poor Butterfly" and the great original "Why Don't I." Horace Silver is the featured pianist here, but Thelonious Monk graces "Reflections" and both pianists alternate throughout a stunning version of "Misterioso."

Musicians:
Sonny Rollins (tenor saxophone)
Paul Chambers (bass)
J.J. Johnson (trombone)
