    About this album

    Way Out West is one of Sonny Rollins’ most celebrated albums, and a landmark for the saxophone trio format. Recorded in 1957 with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne, it pairs Rollins’ muscular tone and instinctive humour with a stripped-back West Coast setting that made every phrase count. His playful take on ‘I’m An Old Cowhand’ sits alongside standards such as ‘Solitude’ and ‘There Is No Greater Love’, showing how freely he could rework familiar material. Widely regarded as a hard bop classic, the album helped confirm Rollins as one of jazz’s most inventive improvisers.
