Our Man In Jazz [Import] LP (Honeypie Records)

Reissue, originally released by RCA Victor in 1962. “Our Man In Jazz” marks Sonny Rollins's first step towards a more open and explorative form of jazz. Performed by a piano-less line-up featuring two hipper creative Ornette Coleman alumni: Don Cherry on trumpet and Billy Higgins on drums plus the super solid double bass of Bob Cranshaw, this release stands as a brilliant document of the early sixties new wave in jazz.
