About the album (from allaboutjazz.com):
Though he had worked with Thelonious Monk and Red Garland, Rollins just couldn't settle on a pianist that would leave him the adequate space he felt his horn needed to express all the ideas running around his head (he called it strolling.) So it was at three o'clock AM on March 7 of '57 at Contemporary Studio in LA, that Rollins, along with the ever pliable and reliable bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne providing effortlessly minimalist rhythm that Rollins set out on his first trio minus piano experiment, an experiment that would have landmark future results with explosive A Night At The Village Vanguard. Consistently hitting peak improvisation on such loopy, unexpected material as "I'm An Old Cowhand" and "Wagon Wheels" is what marks this disc as iconic. That and the and way too cool cover of the sax colossus himself amongst the cactus and tumbling tumbleweeds in cowboy threads brandishing his killer horn.
