Description:

This was the first studio album for IMPULSE! by the great tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins(b. 1930) recorded in New Jersey on July 8, 1965 with Ray Bryant(piano); Walter Booker(bass) & Mickey Roker(drums). All five numbers are gems including four standards and the exuberant calypso 'Hold 'Em Joe'. The saxophonist is on masterful form throughout with a superb rhythm section and, despite the short playing-time of around 35 minutes, the overlooked 'Sonny Rollins on Impulse!' deserves a place in any modern jazz collection. - ACOUSTIC SOUNDS / 180GR.
