Okay, so we just had to re-visit the Sonny Rollins catalogue as we had always felt we had not done justice to it on our first swing through his work. So here we have four of the great tenor man’s finest albums for your listening pleasure. From the driving blast from the two tenors, Rollins and Coltrane on Tenor Madness, backed up by Red Garland, Paul Chambers and “Philly” Joe to the more low key piano-less abstraction of Way Out West, featuring just Sonny on tenor with Ray Brown on bass and Shelly Manne on drums to the driving jazz of Newk’s Time featuring Wynton Kelly, Doug Watkins and Philly Joe Jones to the sublime The Bridge with Jim Hall on guitar, Bob Cranshaw on bass and Ben Riley or H.T. Saunders on drums. Truly great work.
