5 out of 5 stars A Thrilling Bop Workout.......2004-01-24

I know its heresy in light of much more acclaimed records like "Saxophone Collossus and "Tenor Madness," but I'd argue that this is Rollins' best work. The band consists of Rollins on tenor, Kenny Dorham on trumpet, the vastly under-appreciated Elmo Hope on piano, Percy Heath on bass and Art Blakey on drums. Throughout the session, they play with a reckless abandon that threatens to spin things out of control, but never quite gets there. It's thrilling to hear, from beginning to end.

That said, the gorgoeus ballad, "Silk 'n' Satin," may be my favorite track. The sudden appearance of Dorham's trumpet in the final verse is genuinely haunting. Then, as a very special bonus, the closing track, "More Than You Know," features (a somewhat subdued) Thelonious Monk on piano. If you love bop, you WILL NOT be disappointed with this one. Belive me.

4 out of 5 stars Sonny's "Movin' Out," You Should Move In.......2000-08-25

Sonny Rollins' "Movin' Out" is a classic set of hard bop from the mid-50s. Four of the albums songs feature the personnel of Kenny Dorham, Elmo Hope, Percy Heath and Art Blakey joining Sonny, while on one track, the lenghty ballad "More Than You Know," the band consists of Sonny, Monk, Tommy Potter and Art Taylor. The standout tune on this recording is "Solid," one of Sonny's most covered compositions, and this is the definitive version. But the other songs are no slouches -- the title track and "Swinging for Bumsy" are hard driving, straight ahead boppers, while the high point on the mid-tempo "Silk N' Satin" is a glorious, distant echo-like trumpet line from Dorham. "Movin' Out" doesn't net a fifth star in my opinion because this is very short CD, only around 30 minutes. But the music is excellent, so "Movin' Out" may be short, but it is definitely sweet.
