Sonny Rollins • Way Out West

 

Review from AllMusic (by Scott Yanow):
The timeless Way Out West established Sonny Rollins as jazz's top tenor saxophonist (at least until John Coltrane surpassed him the following year). Joined by bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne, Rollins is heard at one of his peaks on such pieces as "I'm an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande)," his own "Way Out West," "There Is No Greater Love," and "Come, Gone" (a fast stomp based on "After You've Gone"). The William Claxton photo of Rollins wearing Western gear (and holding his tenor) in the desert is also a classic. The Contemporary re-release appends three bonus tracks, all of them alternate takes.

Resena de AllMusic (por Scott Yanow):
El imperecedero Way Out West establecio a Sonny Rollins como el mejor saxofonista tenor del jazz (al menos hasta que John Coltrane lo supero al ano siguiente). Acompanado por el bajista Ray Brown y el baterista Shelly Manne, Rollins se escucha en uno de sus momentos cumbres en temas como "I'm an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande)", su propio "Way Out West", "There Is No Greater Love" y "Come, Gone" (un stomp rapido basado en "After You've Gone"). La foto de William Claxton de Rollins vistiendo atuendo del Oeste (y sosteniendo su tenor) en el desierto es tambien un clasico. La reedicion de Contemporary agrega tres temas bonus, todos ellos tomas alternativas.
