Full Details
This album covers roughly two years in Sonny Rollins' career when he was beginning to emerge as an important force in contemporary jazz. "I Know" was his first track as a leader, taped at the end of a January 1951 Miles Davis date at Miles' insistence with the trumpet legend even playing piano on the tune to boot. Sonny's first date as a leader took place on a snowy December night at the end of that year. The meeting with the Modern Jazz Quartet, in October 1953, showed a new maturity, especially in the rendition of Duke Ellington's "In a Sentimental Mood."
Musicians:
Sonny Rollins, tenor saxophone
Percy Heath, bass
John Lewis / Kenny Drew / Miles Davis, piano
