Editorial Reviews

This disc features Sonny Rollins (tenor sax), Barney Kessel (guitar), Hampton Hwes (piano), Leroy Vinnegar (bass), Shelly Manne (drums), and guest artist Victor Feldman (vibes). This is a collection of beautiful melodic standards such as: I've Told Ev'ry Little Star, How High the Moon, Alone Together, The Song Is You, and many more. The sound is smooth and detailed; a beautiful recording.

This review is from: Sonny Rollins and the Contemporary Leaders (Audio CD)

This is the second of the Contempory releases by Sonny Rollins. The sound quality is great thanks to recording engineer Roy DuNann. The music seems less enchanting than Way Our West, but it is still a must purchase especially in XRCD. I agree with the Amazon reviewer that "I Found A new Baby" is a great performance. If you like Way Out West you will like this recording also. Buy it in XRCD.
