Another great session.,
By
This review is from: Sonny Rollins and the Contemporary Leaders (Audio CD)
This is superb last studio session before Rollins almost 3 years gap. And it's from his artistic peak. He plays with great feeling sometimes very quick (The Song Is You) and sometimes economical (How High The Moon, I've found a new baby - with interesting one tone passage in mid part) but always perfect. But whole band plays great. Perfect production too . Like band's playing in my living room. I love similar productions, it's the best in jazz.

Rollins - A Good Leader,
By Michael B. Richman (Portland, Maine USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Sonny Rollins and the Contemporary Leaders (Audio CD)
"Sonny Rollins and the Contemporary Leaders" brings together some of the best and most popular West Coast Jazz musicians of the late 50s with the master tenor saxophonist. If you think the lineup of Hampton Hawes, Barney Kessel, Leroy Vinegar and Shelly Manne is odd, wait until you see the repertoire! However, in all its unlikelyhood, it works, particularly with the guitar-bass-tenor sax trio on "How High the Moon" and on "You," which finds Victor Feldman sitting in with the band on vibes. The final track, "The Song Is You," explodes with a double-fast, double-time rhythm pulse. It's a fitting end for a leading effort by Sonny and the Leaders.
