In addition to his own sessions, Rollins is featured with trombonist J.J.

Johnson, on four dates with Miles Davis, and on sessions led by Thelonious Monk and trumpeter Art Farmer. Among the other musicians participating are trumpeters Kenny Dorham and Clifford Brown; pianists John Lewis, Kenny Drew, Horace Silver, Elmo Hope, Ray Bryant, Red Garland, and Tommy Flanagan; drummers Max Roach, Roy Haynes, Art Blakey, and Philly Joe Jones; the Modern Jazz Quartet; Julius Watkins on French horn; altoist Jackie McLean; and even Charlie Parker. Among the many highlights are the original versions of Rollins' compositions 'Airegin,' 'Oleo,' 'Doxy,' 'St. Shinko chc-s2145.

Thomas,' and 'Blue 7,' and his one recorded meeting with John Coltrane ('Tenor Madness'). Essential music that is treated as it should be. The attractive booklet is a major plus too. Scott Yanow.
