by Scott YanowThe last of the classic Sonny Rollins albums prior to his unexpected three-year retirement features the great tenor with pianist Hampton Hawes, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Leroy Vinnegar, and drummer Shelly Manne (all bandleaders for Contemporary Records during this era) on an unusual but inspired list of standards. Rollins creates explorative and often witty improvisations on such songs as Rock-A-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody, You, In the Chapel in the Moonlight, and roaring versions of I've Found a New Baby and The Song Is You. Great music.
