Sonny Rollins • Sonny Rollins & Co. 1964

 

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This CD from the Bluebird reissue series fills a lot of gaps in Sonny Rollins' discography. The 13 selections are taken from six different sessions from 1964. The personnel changes from date to date, with either Ron Carter or Bob Cranshaw on bass and Roy McCurdy or Mickey Roker on drums, along with pianist Herbie Hancock on five songs and guitarist Jim Hall on three others. Some of the music comprises alternate takes, and in contrast to a rambling 16-minute version of "Now's the Time," a few of the briefer songs (seven are under four minutes) shut down prematurely. However, the great tenor's improvisations are consistently fascinating, as he reconciles his avant-garde flights to the standards he is performing. "Autumn Nocturne" is a high point.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este CD de la serie de reediciones de Bluebird llena muchos vacíos en la discografía de Sonny Rollins. Las 13 selecciones se toman de seis sesiones diferentes de 1964. El personal cambia de una fecha a otra, con Ron Carter o Bob Cranshaw en el bajo y Roy McCurdy o Mickey Roker en la batería, junto con el pianista Herbie Hancock en cinco canciones y el guitarrista Jim Hall en otras tres. Parte de la música comprende tomas alternativas, y en contraste con una versión laberíntica de 16 minutos de "Now's the Time", algunas de las canciones más breves (siete tienen menos de cuatro minutos) se apagan prematuramente. Sin embargo, las improvisaciones del gran tenor son siempre fascinantes, ya que concilia sus vuelos vanguardistas con los estándares que está interpretando. "Nocturno de otoño" es un punto culminante.
