Sonny Rollins - What’s New - Pure Pleasure LP

180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl

Sonny Rollins' mid-sixties bossa nova album What's New? (1962) is no easy-listening exercise. Rather than soften his approach, Rollins uses Latin rhythms to dissect and reimagine familiar melodies, staying true to his bop and avant-garde roots. Joined by guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and a deep percussion section including Candido Camero, he turns standards into bold, uncompromising explorations. Pressed on 180g audiophile vinyl.
