Sonny Rollins - Sonny Boy Vinyl LP ACV2075
This album screams modernity! Rollins plays hard on this superb bop classic released in 1960: the disc contains a combination of two different recording dates from 1956, shortly after the devastating car accident that took Clifford Brown and Richie Powell. Max Roach, Sonny Rollins and George Morrow still played powerfully as Kenny Drew filled in nicely. The wonderful hip Abstract Expressioniste album cover generates the tone contained inside the packaging. Fans of free jazz and bop should not neglect this masterpiece!
