The record

Sonny Rollins on tenor beside Miles Davis, with Horace Silver, Percy Heath and Kenny Clarke -- a rhythm section that swings hard without crowding either horn. Prestige put it out as a ten-inch in 1954, PrLP 187, Rudy Van Gelder engineering and cutting the lacquer, Ira Gitler on the notes. 'Airegin', 'Oleo' and 'Doxy' alone justify tracking down a clean copy.
