ALL TRACKS PREVIOUSLY UNISSUED!
A complete never before released trio performance by Sonny Rollins - recorded in Munich in October, 1965 - which showcases the saxophonist with talented Danish bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and drummer Alan Dawson.

Among the many highlights, it presents versions of tunes rarely recorded by Rollins, like "Darn That Dream" or "The Song Is You".

Initially a follower of Charlie Parker, then an important figure in recordings by illustrious modern jazz icons like Clifford Brown, Max Roach, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk, tenor sax giant Sonny Rollins had evolved beyond the bebop idiom and was expanding into freer forms by the mid-'60s. Just as he had done on his celebrated album 'Way Out West' - and at this 1965 Munich concert, Rollins refrained from using a piano, opting instead for a trio format backed only by bass and drums.
