Sonny Rollins and The Contemporary Leaders / Sonny Rollins 180G LP
Label: Analogue Productions
Genre: Jazz
Product No.: AAPJ 340
Format: 180 Gram Vinyl
This was Sonny’s second Contemporary album and his second West Coast session, a year and a half after
the historic Way Out West. Jazz labels acquire personalities not only from the musical tastes of
the owner/recording director but also from the roster of musicians signed to the company. TheContemporary Sound - every bit as distinctive as the competing Blue Note Sound, Prestige Sound and Pacific Jazz Sound - was largely a product of the work by Hampton Hawes, Barney Kessel and Shelly Manne, all of whom had
won Down Beat awards for their respective instruments and recorded as The Poll Winners.
