Originally released on Period. Also widely available for years in budget bins everywhere on the (Everest) Archive Of Folk Music Jazz Series label as SONNY ROLLINS (FS-220).

The Rollins half of the album is currently available on THE FREELANCE YEARS box. Of note is that it was recorded the day after the Vanguard album. Comparisons between the two "Sonny Moons" are most instructive, as is compaing the Rollins/Cleveland frontline to the Rollins/JJ one on Blue Note's VOLUME 2.

This was my very first exposure to Mr. Rollins, thanks to the cutout bins of the Longview, Tx. Treasure City store, and it remains a favorite. Certainly not his most adventurous work, but a favorinite nonetheless. Gil Coggins' work here remains a fascination, sounding as it does a bit like Sonny Clark being too loaded to really play. Gotta love that!

The Thad stuff is really nice too. Jimmy Jones is OUT!

I have this on a 1989 CD released by the French Jazz Anthology label. Good music!

Sounds like a good one to make a play for....thanks.

Just in case it's not clear (and if it matters), Sonny is only on the first side of the album, the tunes w/Cleveland.

But it's all good.
