Sonny Rollins With The Modern Jazz Quartet

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
LP (Item 384069) Prestige/OJC, 1951/1953 — Condition: New Copy

Early Sonny Rollins work for Prestige – recorded in the years 1951 and 1953, in a variety of settings! 4 tracks on the album features Rollins blowing with the MJQ, one more has him working with a Miles Davis group, and the last 8 feature a quartet with Kenny Drew, Percy Heath, and Art Blakey. The tunes are shorter than you might be used to hearing Rollins, but there's still plenty of power and imagination in the grooves – very economical solos, crafted with a great deal of imagination. Titles include "Scoops", "Shadrack", "Mambo Bounce", "The Stopper", "I Know", and "No Moe".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
