Born in 1930, Rollins built a reputation for bold improvisation, thematic development and a powerful, lyrical tone. Over decades he explored standards and original compositions, helping to define the hard bop era with landmark recordings and standout live performances. His work is celebrated for its inventiveness, rhythmic drive and deep melodic sense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis reissue collects material credited to Sonny Rollins and features a stellar lineup including J.J. Johnson on trombone, Horace Silver and Thelonious Monk on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Art Blakey on drums. The set was released on Blue Note as Volume 2 and reissued on CD with digital transfer and mastering for modern playback. Produced by Alfred Lion and with photography by Francis Wolff, the recording retains the spontaneous energy and hard bop roots of the original sessions. The performances highlight Rollins' commanding tenor voice and the adventurous interplay between all members of the band.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Alfred Lion.\u003cbr\u003ePhoto by Francis Wolff.\u003cbr\u003eCover design by Harold Feinstein.\u003cbr\u003eRecording engineered by Rudy Van Gelder.\u003cbr\u003eDigital transfer by Ron McMaster.\u003cbr\u003eTotal Time: 40:41.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe classic Blue Note albums which span the mid 1950s to late 1960s were recorded directly onto two-track analog tape. No multitrack recording was used and consequently no mixing was required. Therefore this CD was made by transferring the one-step analog master to digital.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.\u003cbr\u003eWhy Don't I (Sonny Rollins) - 5:42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.\u003cbr\u003eWail March (Sonny Rollins) - 6:09\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3.\u003cbr\u003eMisterioso (Thelonious Monk) - 9:22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4.\u003cbr\u003eReflections (Thelonious Monk) - 7:01\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5.\u003cbr\u003eYou Stepped Out Of A Dream (N.
