    About this album

    Sonny Rollins And The Contemporary Leaders is a sharp, highly inventive 1959 meeting between Sonny Rollins and a group of Contemporary Records mainstays. Backed by West Coast players including Hampton Hawes, Barney Kessel, Leroy Vinnegar and Shelly Manne, Rollins turns familiar standards into restless, witty improvisations, balancing bop fluency with his trademark rhythmic freedom. The album catches him at a fertile moment, just before his famed hiatus, and shows how comfortably his voice could adapt to a different jazz setting without losing intensity. It remains a fine example of Rollins’s conversational, searching approach to improvisation and ensemble interplay.
