    About this album

    Rollins Plays For Bird is a sharp, swinging hard bop tribute to Charlie Parker from Sonny Rollins, Kenny Dorham and Max Roach. Recorded in 1956, the album finds Rollins honouring Bird’s legacy without imitation, using Parker’s vocabulary as a springboard for fresh, muscular improvisation. The quintet setting gives Dorham and Roach plenty of room to push the music forward, while Rollins’ robust tone and rhythmic inventiveness keep the performances bracingly modern. Widely regarded as one of the most engaging tributes in Rollins’ early catalogue, it captures a moment when bebop’s language was being reworked into something leaner and more individual.
