SONNY ROLLINS "VOLUME 2"
2009 ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS "THE BLUE NOTE REISSUES", 2LP, 45RPM, 180G VIRGIN VINYL, CATALOG NUMBER AP-1558, #558 OF A SOLD-OUT LIMITED EDITION OF 2,500 COPIES, RECORDED BY RUDY VAN GELDER, REMASTERED BY STEVE HOFFMAN AND KEVIN GREY USING THE ORIGINAL ANALOG BLUE NOTE TAPE, PRESSED AT RTI, CAMARILLO, CA.
"IN JAZZ HISTORY, SONNY ROLLINS RANKS AMONG TENOR-SAXOPHONE GIANTS LIKE COLEMAN HAWKINS, LESTER YOUNG, BEN WEBSTER AND JOHN COLTRANE IN TALENT AND INFLUENCE. IN HIS DAZZLING 60 YEAR CAREER AT THE TOP, ROLLINS HAS BALANCED MELODIC DEVELOPMENT WITH UNPREDICTABLE PHRASES, INFUSING HIS INNOVATIVE IDEAS WITH HIS MEMORABLE WIT."
"J.J. JOHNSON SHARED THE FRONT LINE WITH HIS TENOR MASTER FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL SESSION THAT FEATURES A UNIQUE REWORKING OF "POOR BUTTERFLY" AND A GREAT ORIGINAL "WHY DON'T I". HORACE SILVER IS THE PIANIST, BUT THELONIOUS MONK REPLACES HIM ON "REFLECTIONS" AND BOTH PIANISTS ALTERNATE THROUGHOUT A STUNNING VERSION OF "MISTERIOSO"."
"SONNY ROLLINS, "VOLUME 2", RECORDED FOR BLUE NOTE, IS A TIMELESS SESSION AND A MILESTONE IN JAZZ HISTORY THAT GATHERED TOGETHER SOME OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF THE POST-BOP ERA. JOINING ROLLINS ARE JAZZ MESSENGERS ART BLAKEY ON DRUMS AND HORACE SILVER ON PIANO, MILES DAVIS' FAVORITE BASSIST PAUL CHAMBERS, THE QUINTESSENTIAL TROMBONIST J.J. JOHNSON, AND EVEN THELONIOUS MONK HIMSELF. THE TOUR DE FORCE IN SWING BEGINS WITH A BANG AND DOESN'T LET UP UNTIL THE LAST NOTE HAS FADED AWAY. ROLLINS OWN UPTEMPO "WHY DON'T I" KICKS OFF THE SESSION WITH A RHYTHMIC JOLT BEFORE HIS BIG TENOR LAUNCHES INTO A CLASSIC SWINGING SOLO FOLLOWED BY TURNS FROM JOHNSON AND SILVER AND SOME HEATED EXCHANGES WITH BLAKEY. THE APTLY "WAIL MARCH" BEGINS DECEPTIVELY WITH A STREET-BEAT GROOVE BEFORE CAREENING INTO SEVERAL BLISTERING SOLO CHORUSES. MONK SITS IN FOR HIS OWN "MISTERIOSO" AND "REFLECTIONS", TWO QUINTESSENTIAL WORKS FROM THIS ECCENTRIC MASTER THAT ARE GIVEN EXCELLENT READINGS HERE. THE BOUNCING "YOU STEPPED OUT OF A DREAM" PROVIDES SOME TASTY INTERACTION BETWEEN ROLLINS AND JOHNSON, FINALLY, THE LILTING "POOR BUTTERFLY" IS A NICE BLUSEY ENDING TO THIS ALL-STAR SESSION"---ALL MUSIC
