The second of Sonny Rollins’ Blue Note albums found the
saxophonist 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. Thelonious
Monk joins the festivities on memorable versions of his tunes ‘Misterioso’ and
‘Reflections’.
This
