The quartet, comprised of some of the finest musicians in the game, provides a perfect backdrop for Rollins to shine, with each member bringing their own unique flair to the mix.

Tracks like "St. Thomas" and "Blue Seven" are masterclasses in jazz improvisation, with Rollins effortlessly weaving in and out of complex chord changes and intricate melodies. The chemistry between the band members is undeniable, and their telepathic communication is evident in every note they play.
