- Review
- The music on this former LP was the last of tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' Prestige dates to appear on CD. Actually the release is a bit odd for it reissues four of the six numbers from the previously released CD Tour de Force (OJC 095), replacing "My Ideal" and "Two Different Worlds" (the latter an Earl Coleman vocal) with "The House I Live In" from an earlier session that resulted in the Plays for Bird album; usually the Original Jazz Classics series avoids such duplication. Tour de Force is a more logical purchase, although the music on this CD does feature the immortal tenor saxophonist in fine form with a quartet comprised of pianist Kenny Drew, bassist George Morrow and drummer Max Roach (other than the earlier selection which also has trumpeter Kenny Dorham). ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
