Recorded in 1958, this historic album cemented Rollins' status as one of the greatest innovators in jazz. Experimenting for the first time with the 'extended format' in a sax-led trio, Rollins and his all-star rhythm section (Oscar Pettiford on bass and Max Roach on drums) get down to business with the groundbreaking 19-minute 'Freedom Suite,' which Rollins uses to draw a parallel between freedom in music and freedom for African Americans in the 1950s. Featuring two bonus tracks, including the Roach/Pettiford original, 'There Will Never Be Another You.' |
