The second of Sonny Rollins Blue Note albums found the saxophonist in esteemed company with J.J. Johnson on trombone, Horace Silver on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Art Blakey on drums for a high-spirited bop date. Thelonious Monk joins the festivities on memorable versions of his tunes Misterioso and Reflections.
