Sonny Rollins showcases his masterful tenor saxophone work on Brass/Trio, a captivating 1958 hard bop recording that captures the legendary saxophonist in two distinct musical settings. Recorded over two days in July 1958 at New York City studios, this album demonstrates Rollins' versatility as he navigates both brass-backed arrangements and intimate trio performances.
The album's trio side particularly highlights Rollins' rhythmic command and melodic elasticity in a pared-down setting with bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Specs Wright. This Verve Vault Series reissue is mastered from analog tapes and pressed on heavyweight 180-gram vinyl, preserving the warmth and dynamics of these classic sessions for both longtime jazz enthusiasts and new collectors discovering Rollins' influential catalog.
