One of the few improvisers to justify the opportunity to "stretch out" afforded by the long-playing record, Sonny Rollins puts on an incredible display of melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic virtuosity, aided and abetted by master drummer Max Roach. The self-renewing, motivic blues, "Ee-ah," and the reinventions on the chord sequences of "Cherokee" ("B. Quick") and "Lover" ("B. Swift") are dazzling performances; and Sonny's ballad improvisations, in and around the rich, romantic baritone renditions of "Two Different Worlds" and "My Ideal" by Earl Coleman, are a perfect contrast.
A better purchase than Sonny Boy (OJC 348) which has four of this set's six numbers plus "The House I Live In" from an earlier date. None of the Sonny Rollins' originals (which include "B. Swift," "B. Quick" and "Ee-Ah") on this release caught on. With pianist Kenny Drew, bassist George Morrow and drummer Max Roach completing the quartet, Rollins was in consistently creative form during this prime period but the overall set is not as classic as most of the tenor's other recordings from the 1950s.
