Sonny Rollins (Vol Two) 
Blue Note 1558 - re-issue LP

Sonny Rollins, Vol. 2 brought together some of the greatest players of the post-bop era. In addition to Rollins, it featured Art Blakey on drums, Horace Silver and Thelonious Monk on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and J.J. Johnson on trombone. This classic record is a must-have for any jazz lover. J.J. Johnson shared the front line with his tenor master for this exceptional session that features a unique reworking of "Poor Butterfly" and a great original "Why Don't I." Horace Silver is the pianist, but Thelonious Monk replaces him on "Reflections" and both pianists alternate throughout a stunning version of "Misterioso."

Recorded in 1957. Re-issue as part of Blue Note's 75th anniversary celebration.
