Way Out West

Sonny Rollins

The 'strolling' technique. Rollins strips away the piano to find liberation in a sparse, witty, and muscular trio setting.

1957 · 20th Century Masterworks

Find on Amazon

A playful and muscular confidence that finds freedom in sparse, open spaces.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The skeletal opening of I'm an Old Cowhand where the woodblock percussion mimics a clip-clop horse trot.
