Our Take

Sonny Rollins has always been a jazz pioneer, pushing boundaries and breaking rules. His latest album, "Way Out West," is no exception. From the very first note, Rollins grabs your attention and doesn't let go.

The album opens with the track "I'm an Old Cowhand," and right away you know this isn't going to be your typical jazz album. Rollins' saxophone playing is energetic and full of life, making you want to get up and dance. The infectious rhythm section keeps the energy high throughout the entire album.

One standout track is "Way Out West," which features Rollins' signature improvisational style. His solos are wild and unpredictable, taking you on a journey through his musical mind. The band follows his lead effortlessly, creating a truly mesmerising listening experience.

Another highlight is "Come, Gone," a slower, more contemplative track that showcases Rollins' melodic side. His tone is warm and inviting, drawing you in with each note. The interplay between Rollins and the other musicians is seamless, creating a sense of unity and cohesion.

Overall, "Way Out West" is a triumph for Sonny Rollins. It showcases his versatility as a musician and his ability to push the boundaries of jazz. If you're a fan of innovative, boundary-pushing music, this album is a must-listen. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let Sonny Rollins take you on a musical journey like no other.
