Recorded the day after the Vanguard session for BN, btw.

I first heard that session on the Everest album Jim posted. It's also included in the Freelance Years box set.

FreshSound reissued a number of Period albums including that one several years ago.

Their 'Sonny Rollins Plays' CD is still available.

[Head Man]

It's on Jazz Anthology....one of the Andorrans (sorry, Bev!)

1. Don't let it hit 41, ok?

It's fine little set. Well worth having. Loads of reissues, bootlegs, downloads. The Everest album couples the Rollin with some pleasant Thad Jones tracks.

Keep in mind that only 3 tracks have the Rollins group. Side 2 of the LP had a Thad Jones ensemble. Ironically, those tracks are now hard to find.

Yeah, I think that's happened to a lot of us. Bought some of those Everests (with Period stuff, incidentally, that seemed to be fill gaps on the reissue market at the time) through the years but at other times I found many of their reissues being compiled in quite a helter-skelter manner so passed up other Everests countless times, including this one, IIRC.

There's also a reissue with the original Period cover.

I too had it on the Everest series. As a teenager I had oodles of those, both jazz and blues.

And you shall.

That Everst was the very first sonny Rollins album I owned. The second was Next Album. And then it was off to the races.

My first two Sonnys, not sure the order, were the Everest and the Prestige twofer. I bought oodles of those twofers. Some were just repackagings of two individual lps (all the Miles and Coltrane sets, for the most part), but I think the Rollins was a compilation drawn from multiple albums. Next Album was the first Rollins music I bought on first release, and then I saw just about every concert he did for New Audiences in NYC in the '70s. In the '80s he started doing dates at The Bottom Line as well as concert halls.

There was an additional track without Rollins recorded at that session, feat. Jimmy Cleveland - maybe Rollins was late to the session? Never saw a reissue including this track .... and never saw a reissue with all Thad Jones Period tracks on one disc, although they would easily fit on one disc.

That 'splains a bunch to me. Sorry it took so long.

I did not have the pleasure of experiencing jazz prior to 1970 in chronological order or an educated record store. I'm totally unofficial.
