The 1957 Sonny Rollins release “Way Out West” was one of the first jazz albums I ever shelled out for from my hard-earned Burger King money as an teenager in the ’80s.
The cover image of tenor saxophonist Rollins standing in the desert, wearing a ten-gallon cowboy hat, impressed me enough to take the leap. The music on the LP was exciting, inspired and seemingly limitless in its invention. I’ve gifted copies of the album to friends over the years, and it’s one of the titles I suggest to people who want might want to take the next step after listening to Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue” a couple of hundred times.
This album — and another in the package, “Sonny Rollins and the Contemporary Leaders” — transcends time, just like the great man himself, who will turn 93 in September. There’s also a third disc in the collection, made up of alternate takes from these sessions. It sounds terrific, too.IT TOOK ROUGHLY a quarter of a century, but Rhino-Atlantic has finally released the second half of its massive Charles Mingus reissue project in box-set form.
