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.

Blossom Dearie is an album by Blossom Dearie that was recorded in 1956 and released in 1957. It was her first recording for Verve.

Billboard noted that "hers is smoky sort of voice. and she handles a tune musically. Package embraces standards and offers thrush sultry moment or two via some French lyrics on "It Might As Well Be Spring," "Tout Doucement" and "Comment Alles Vous." "Thou Swell" it the best of the lot. This is the gal who organized and arranged for the Blue Stars in France. Their solo debut will attract some attention from hip jocks, but no great sales are foreseen." - Wikipedia

4 To Go! by André Previn / Herb Ellis / Shelly Manne / Ray Brown , released on Columbia in 1963.

Review by Scott Yanow

This out-of-print LP (when is Columbia going to start seriously reissuing their Andre Previn jazz dates on CD?) is one of the pianist's strongest. Teamed up with guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne, Previn performs six standards (including "No Moon at All," "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" and "Like Someone In Love"), plus an original apiece by each of the musicians. The musicians, all friends, show obvious mutual respect, and despite a lack of rehearsal, the swinging results are generally quite memorable.
