Sonny Rollins, Sonny Rollins On Impulse!, 1965 on Impulse
Classic album, featuring Rollins with Walter Booker (bass), Mickey Roker (drums), and Ray Bryant (piano). Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in the summer of 1965. Sadly Rollins passed this May (2026) in Woodstock NY. My copy—via Mystery Train Records in Gloucester MA—is the 2021 Acoustic Sounds Series reissue, supervised by Chad Kassem, cut by Ryan Smith, and pressed at Quality Record Pressing (QRP). Sounds fantastic!https://goatless.org/2026/06/10/sonny-rollins-sonny-rollins-on-impulse-1965-on-impulse

#Eulogy: #Jazz colossus #SonnyRollins dies aged 95🕊
"Rollins was one of a handful of #saxophone players who defined the instrument, a pantheon that includes Charlie #Parker, Coleman #Hawkins & John #Coltrane..🎷🎶 He was dubbed the "Saxophone Colossus" after te title of his seminal 1956 album, in which he brought a new power to the instrument as he came to define hard bop -- a jazz that was intense & stripped back te genre's structural confines"
