Classic Records Pressing on 180g Vinyl!
"Improvisation in its truest sense is the keynote of this extraordinary album. Recorded at the Village Gate in New York City, these performances are unusually spontaneous even for an artist as freely creative as Sonny Rollins. Their shape, length, and internal structure are completely unrehearsed and are the product of the instant reaction of each member of the quartet to each moment of spontaneous creation. Harmonies, as well as rhythms and the normal bar-by-bar construction of a composition, are altered on the spot in a fascinating demonstration of collective improvisation by four sensitively attuned musicians." -from the sleeve notes by George Avakian
