Sonny Rollins - Saxophone; Bass – Bob Cranshaw; Drums – Ben Riley, H. T. Saunders; Guitar – Jim Hall. Recorded in RCA Victor's Studio B, New York City.
Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' first recording after ending a surprising three-year retirement found the great saxophonist sounding very similar to how he had played in 1959, although he would soon start investigating freer forms. In a pianoless quartet with guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Ben Riley, Rollins explores four standards (including "Without a Song" and "God Bless the Child") plus two fiery originals, highlighted by the title cut. The interplay between Rollins and Hall is consistently impressive, making this set a near-classic and a very successful comeback. ~Scott Yanow
