Way Out West (2012 EU Reissue) – Sonny Rollins (Vinyl) (BD)
This is a 2012 reissue vinyl LP pressing of Way Out West by Sonny Rollins. The American jazz tenor saxophonist originally released his album in 1957, via Contemporary Records. Produced by Lester Koenig, the album was recorded at Contemporary Studio in Los Angeles and features bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne. The music employs a technique called “strolling”, used here by Rollins for the first time, in which he would solo over only bass and drums with no pianist or guitarist playing chords.
