Tour de Force

Sonny Rollins

High-velocity hard bop defined by breakneck tempos and surgical saxophone improvisations. A raw, energetic snapshot of a master at his technical peak.

1958 · Prestige

Find on Amazon

A high-octane display of technical mastery balanced by moments of unexpected, velvet-smooth crooning.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The dizzying, high-speed chase of the saxophone lines on B. Quick where Rollins seems to defy the need for breath.
