4 out of 5 stars A Solid Album.......2003-08-07

Sonny Rollins' first effort for Blue Note is a solid, if not stellar, album. Recorded on December 16, 1956, "Sonny Rollins Volume One" features Donald Byrd on trumpet, Wynton Kelly on piano, Gene Ramey on bass, and the great Max Roach on drums. Roach, by the way, brings much needed cohesion to the recording. (At this time Rollins was member of the Max Roach Plus Four, so they knew how to play well together.) Unfortunately, Byrd and Rollins don't always mesh, and Sonny often pulls along Kelly. Otherwise, it's a spirited session featuring four Rollins originals, recorded (as always) impeccably, and now remastered too, by Rudy Van Gelder. It just seems that an album sandwiched between three of the greatest jazz albums of the 1950s ("Tenor Madness," "Saxophone Colossus," and "Volume 2") would be better, but then we all have to be entitled to an off day. If only my off days could be as successful....
