With cooperation from the Verve and Columbia Legacy catalogs, the Ken Burns Jazz
series on CD individually spotlights the musical excellence of 22 jazz
originators whose careers and influence are explored in Burns PBS documentary
Jazz. Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins is represented beginning with his
composition Oleo performed with the Miles Davis Quintet in 1954. Ken Burns Jazz
then chronologically (but all too briefly) touches on a few Prestige dates such
as Im an Old Cowhand from his inventive 1957 Way Out West album, but includes
only one Blue Note date! Rollins also trades licks with Dizzy Gillespie and
Sonny Stitt on the Verve date I Know That You Know, while Body and Soul rounds
out his 50s recordings. Rollins legacy is picked up with Bridge from his 1962
comeback album The Bridge, and the CD concludes with Alfies Theme Differently
from the 1966 soundtrack Alfie on Impulse. While its impossible to sum up
Rollins history on a single disc, the highlights here should keep the novice
listener interested enough to continue searching out more material. However,
there is nothing for the Rollins aficionado in this installment of the Ken Burns
Jazz series.
