Sonny Rollins, Way Out West, 1957 on Contemporary
This was the first Rollins album with Ray Brown and Shelly Manne, and the first time he recorded with only bass and drums. I love this cover photo emphasizing the New York native was out west. My copy—direct from Craft Recordings—is the 2009 Original Jazz Classics reissue which was remastered back in 1988 and repressed in 2009. It reproduces the yellow Contemporary labels but with a catalog number OJC-337.https://goatless.org/2026/05/01/sonny-rollins-way-out-west-1957-on-contemporary

Thelonious Monk, The Unique Thelonious Monk, 1956 on Riverside
Monk recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, with Oscar Pettiford on bass and Art Blakey on drums, produced by Orrin Keepnews and Bill Grauer – originally Riverside RLP 12-209 with a different cover.
My copy, via Academy Records in NYC, is the 1983 reissue in the Original Jazz Classics series, issued by Fantasy which acquired the Riverside catalog in 1972. These are wonderful reissues across Riverside, Prestige, Contemporary and other labels – and well worth picking up whenever you see them in good condition.

Beginning of the weekend & I’m #NowSpinning another birthday gift.
This, #WorkinWithTheMilesDavisQuintet is the first entry of the new #OriginalJazzClassics series by #Craft & it really is beautifully done. High quality tip on jacket, beautifully reproduced art work, immaculately pressed, cut by #KevinGray, with all the rich, spacious dynamics you might expect. It makes me very excited for the rest of this series.
