A better purchase than Sonny Boy (OJC 348) which has four of this set's six numbers plus "The House I Live In" from an earlier date. None of the Sonny Rollins' originals (which include "B. Swift," "B. Quick" and "Ee-Ah") on this release caught on. With pianist Kenny Drew, bassist George Morrow and drummer Max Roach completing the quartet, Rollins was in consistently creative form during this prime period but the overall set is not as classic as most of the tenor's other recordings from the 1950s.~Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/tour-de-force-mw0000654776

Personnel: Sonny Rollins (tenor saxophone); Earl Coleman (vocals); Kenny Drew (piano); George Morrow (bass); Max Roach (drums).
