Sonny Rollins |

"Rollins's best moments occur when he opens up and tears into Three Little Words. ... his work has tremendous buoyancy and great continuity ... pianist Ray Bryant's graceful, complex solos deserve considerable praise and attention."
- JazzTimes.com
"His huge sound, consistently melodic and accessible, combined with his supreme musicianship stand astride the jazz world: a god among mortals."
- All About Jazz
"... the original recordings have been remastered and they've done a bang-up job. Rollins's horn is big, centered in the middle of the stage and almost etched forward in the mix. The flanking piano and drums sound natural and spacious. Of course, the performances are first-rate ... a reminder of how long Rollins has been playing, how great he was and remains to this day."
