Sonny Rollins – Volume 1 (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded in December 1956, this session arrived during one of the most fertile stretches in Rollins' career, sandwiched between landmark dates for Prestige and Riverside that would define hard bop's golden era. Max Roach's presence here is no coincidence; his rhythmic partnership with Rollins throughout the mid-50s pushed both musicians to extraordinary heights, and you can hear that chemistry locked in from the first bar.
Sonny Rollins - "Volume 1 (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition)" [180gram Heavy Vinyl LP] After Sonny Rollins' first Blue Note appearance with Bud Powell in 1949, the saxophonist returned to make his label debut as a leader in 1956. Volume 1 was classic Rollins, with hard-swinging originals plus a tender ballad that showcase his robust sound and limitless improvisational creativity. Featuring a quintet including Donald Byrd, Wynton Kelly, Gene Ramey and Max Roach. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is mono, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal. Capitol Music Group; Blue Note; Jazz; Catalog.
