5.0 out of 5 stars
Another Lost Masterpiece, July 17, 2001
This review is from: Sonny Rollins V.1 (Audio CD)
"Volume Two" gets most of the noise while "One" is pushed down the ladder of Sonny's massive recorded output. The Rollins/Coltrane standoff on "Tenor Maddness" is good for a couple of listenings but drifts slighly off point. "Volume One" is straight Sonny at one of his best periods before leaving for Europe. This album defines Sonny Rollins for me, but there are many more LP's of his that look toward the same conclusion. This particular record is a great add to the Blue Note Jazz catalogue...there is nothing better than that round sound Rollins gets from his horn.
