Really terrific CD from the RVG Rudy Van Gelder re-issue series. These releases offer significant improvements in sound quality. The Disc and booklet are in EXCELLENT condition - the case is good, with the usual scuffs on the front. Obviously, this is easily replaced. It is an original, not a copy. Blurb: Sonny Rollins' VOLUME 2 for Blue Note is one of those timeless discs. It is a milestone in jazz history that gathered together some of the founding fathers of the post-bop era. Joining Rollins are Jazz Messengers Art Blakey (drums) and Horace Silver (piano), Miles Davis' favorite bassist Paul Chambers, the quintessential trombonist J. J. Johnson and even Thelonious Monk himself. This is a swinging tour-de-force that begins with a bang and doesn't let up until the last note has faded away. Sonny's own up-tempo "Why Don't I" kicks off the session with a rhythmic jolt before Rollins' big tenor launches into a classic swinging solo followed by turns by Johnson, Silver and some heated exchanges with Blakey. The aptly titled "Wail March" deceptively begins with a street beat groove before careening into several blistering solo choruses. Monk sits in for his own "Misterioso" and "Reflections," two quintessential works from this eccentric master that are given excellent readings here. The bouncing "You Stepped Out Of A Dream" provides some tasty interaction between Rollins and Johnson. Finally, the lilting "Poor Butterfly" is a nice bluesy ending to this all-star session.
