This album, critically acclaimed, is considered "a hard bop manifesto" (Scott Yanow - Jazztimes, Down Beat...). SONNY ROLLINS is accompanied by pianist RICHIE POWELL and trumpeter CLIFFORD BROWN. It will also be remembered as the last album recorded by one of the greatest jazz ensembles in history, demonstrating inventiveness and audacity, but also by the tragic death of Clifford Brown. A poignant tribute! For those who like: John Coltrane // Miles Davis // Thelonious Monk // Art Blakey // Dexter Gordon // Hank Mobley.
