Sonny Rollins: Way Out West        (3 of 3 found this review helpful)
  August 18, 2006

Way Out West, recorded in 1957, is a super album cut for the small, California-based Contemporary label. Although a consummate sideman, Rollins rarely seems at ease with his pianists on his own dates, and Way Out West's trio format, with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne, dispenses with ... more
