The record

Flanagan's crisp comping and a double-drummer lineup of Higgins and Roker push this short Impulse! stint into long, searching territory. Standards get reinvented on the spot, restless even by Rollins' own standard.

Session personnel

Pressings

This one did not reach vinyl until long after the session, and the earliest pressing on file is the 1978 US ABC Impulse!, IA-9349 -- there is no original-era LP here to chase. A French AS.9349 and a Japanese promo, YX-8510-AI, came the same year, the Japanese copy carrying an RVG stamp. A 1980 Japanese MCA pressing, VIM-5564, is the only reissue listed. A clean US copy is the straightforward buy.
