One side surrounds his tenor with a punchy brass ensemble arranged and conducted by Ernie Wilkins. The other strips everything back to saxophone, bass and drums, leaving nowhere to hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the brass side, \"Who Cares?\" and \"Love Is a Simple Thing\" find him riding the horn charts with swaggering confidence, darting through the gaps in Wilkins' arrangements over a rhythm section of Dick Katz, Rene Thomas, Henry Grimes and Roy Haynes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trio side, cut with Grimes and drummer Specs Wright, is looser and more exposed. \"Manhattan\" gets a breezy, conversational reading that bends the old standard into new shapes, and \"Body \u0026amp; Soul\" becomes a showcase for the warmth and invention of his tone, every phrase sounding thought through and spontaneous at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a Verve Vault Series edition on heavyweight vinyl, it is a smart pickup for anyone who already owns Saxophone Colossus and wants to hear Rollins stretch out in a different direction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67761823678754,"sku":"602478984839","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Sonny_Rollins-BrassTrio_Verve_Vault_Series_75584ef4-a30f-4a7c-8706-27936bca7d52.jpg?v=1794309744","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/sonny-rollins-brass-trio-verve-vault-series","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
