Notes: The
LP was Sonny's return after a surprising three year retirement.
Consisting of a few standards as well as a few original pieces
Sonny seems to be very content in this piano-less quartet setting.
Jim Hall plays some of his usual sensitive guitar lines and seems
to help pull the quartet together. Sonny's sax is strong and well
placed on all of the tunes. His retirement a thing of the past
Sonny was ready to take charge of the future. The cover phot has
Sonny superimposed over the bridge and he appears as the giant
that he really is. Re-released on CD this is a session worth seeking
out.
