Riverside, 1958. New Copy ... $4.99 11.98

Sonny Rollins —
Night At the Village Vanguard Vol 1 (with bonus tracks) ... CD Blue Note, 1957. Used ... $4.99
One of the greatest Sonny Rollins records ever!

RCA (Japan), 1964. Used ... $33.99
A killer album from Sonny Rollins' prime 60s years at RCA – almost a return to basics, but always with that edge that makes Rollins stand out way more than most of his contemporaries – a subtle balance between straight and modern that really makes the album crackle!

Verve, 1958. Used ... $6.99
A strange one, and from this perspective, it seems like a crazy decision to pair modernist tenorist Sonny Rollins with a set of large brassy arrangements. Oddly, though, the idea works, and works nicely – as Rollins' edgey solos cut through the heavy arrangements with ease, creating some ... read more CD

Contemporary/OJC, 1958. Used ... $4.99
One of Sonny's brilliant west coast sessions for Contemporary – records that shouldn't sparkle as much as they do, but which actually stand with his best work of the 50s! Sonny's blowing in front of a session of "leaders" that includes Hampton Hawes, Barney Kessel, Leroy Vinnegar, ... read more CD
