Sonny Rollins

Description:

Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' 1957 release. The New York Times recently wrote, "He is jazz's greatest living improviser, able to infuse his solos with wry humor, surprises, brilliant logical formality, and profound emotion. In a genre where many talents burn out at an early age, Rollins (now retired at 93) reigned as one of jazz's most formidable talents. Pitchfork magazine called it "an album that sounds novel and transcendent. During the album's infamous 3:00 AM recording session, Rollins' saxophone strutted over the contributions of former Ella Fitzgerald bassist Ray Brown and iconic West Coast jazz drummer Shelley Mann.I'm an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande)," a satire of Texas written by Johnny Mercer and made famous by Bing Crosby, is a clever blend of country and jazz.
