SONNY ROLLINS Our Man In Jazz
New & Sealed One Sided, 4 Disc Audiophile Pressing - 45 RPM Series

Record Label: Classic Records/RCA LPM-2612

Our Man in Jazz by saxophonist Sonny Rollins was recorded for the RCA Victor label in July 1962. The live performance, with Don Cherry, Bob Cranshaw, and Billy Higgins, has been described as contrasting from Rollins' previous style by moving to "very long free-form fancies, swaggering and impetuous."

“ This album contains Rollins suspended between melody and sheer bop improvisation. ”

Highly collectable release from audiophile label, Classic Records. This title was mastered at half speed from the original source master tapes, then cut at 45 RPM on heavy weight, high quality all-virgin vinyl. Classic used a proprietary vinyl that guaranteed virtually no surface noise and sonically superior dynamics. An all-analog, tube amplification process was used at every step.

Each Classic Records reissue featured all original artwork printed on heavy, high quality board, LP labels and any other materials which were included with original pressings.

In short, this is as good as this album is ever going to sound and look on vinyl. Don't wait... this four record set is long out of print and growing harder to find.

Condition: (All Four Records) are new and still sealed in their original loose shrink wrap. Corners are sharp and unbent. Spines, tops and bottoms are solid and free of chipping or splits. Mint.

Review: If Sonny Rollins had continued in this direction, he might not have been eclipsed by John Coltrane as the most influential tenor saxophonist. This album is one of David S. Ware's personal favorite jazz albums.

Sonny Rollins has been deemed by critics to be at his best live (after seeing him live, I would support this). Also, with the members of Ornette Coleman's groundbreaking quartet (except of course Ornette) backing him up, the album has the same manic energy and unpredictability of early free jazz. It still is grounded in hard bop, because Sonny Rollins while wanting to absorb the "new thing in jazz" was still somewhat of a traditionalist. However, this is his most creative and innovative playing and is a standout among the myriad of albums he has recorded. ~ Amazon
