Sonny Rollins, Vol. 2 (Blue Note Tone Poet Series)

Sonny Rollins

Tone Poet Series edition

Having first appeared on a Blue Note session as a member of Bud Powell's Modernists in 1949, Sonny Rollins returned to the label in 1956 to record a series of four tremendous leader dates in less than a year. Recorded in April 1957, the saxophonist's second album for Alfred Lion, Vol. 2, found him in esteemed company with J.J. Johnson on trombone, Horace Silver on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Art Blakey on drums for a high-spirited bop date. The six-song set opens with two rollicking Rollins originals ("Why Don't I?" and "Wail March") and closes with interpretations of two popular songs ("You Stepped Out of a Dream" and "Poor Butterfly"). For the album's two centerpieces, pianist Thelonious Monk joins the festivities for memorable versions of his compositions "Misterioso" and "Reflections."

Blue Note's Tone Poet Series represents the pinnacle of jazz reissues for anyone who appreciates pristine audio. Mastered by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) from the original analog master tapes. Pressed on 180g audiophile vinyl at RTI and presented in deluxe tip-on jackets.
