It's a compilation.  See tracks & personnel in the left column below:

from https://www.discogs.com/master/308203-Sonny-Rollins-Sonny-Rollins

IIRC, this was the first Sonny Rollins album I ever heard.

Two excellent jazz vocal albums from the 1970s:

Joe Lee Wilson - Secrets from the Sun (Inner City, 1978)
Recorded in Paris with Steve Lacy's quartet.  (Lacy is credited as "Steve Sax.")

and

Etta Jones - If You Could See Me Now (Muse, 1979)

I just bought my first Joe Lee Wilson, 'Shout For Trane' and I'm mighty impressed.

Just learnt that he moved to the UK for a good part of his latter career. Things I know now that I wish I'd known then...

I haven't heard that one.  Will have to check it out.   

 

Now giving this LP its first spin:

Gunter Hampel & His Galaxie Dream Band - That Came Down On Me: Live at The Berlin Jazzfestival 1978 (Birth)

Terrific!

Thank you but its hard to read. Have looked up Discogs but no Information there from which albums these tracks are selected from.  Is there more >Info in the liner notes?

All the main Prestige albums - ‘Saxophone Colossus’, ‘Tenor Madness’, ‘Plus One’, ‘Worktime’ etc.

Sound is very good. Get this one and the ‘Saxophone Colossus and More’ Prestige Twofer and you are pretty well sorted for Rollins on Prestige vinyl, unless very big bucks beckons.

His wife was English - lived in Brighton in latter days I think. I have the feeling that Clifford Jarvis lived there too (or was it Hastings).

Just listened to "Mode For Trane" and the saxplayer can't be Steve Lacy ....

Ah yes thanks again. Have the three highlighted above  + the one Prestige  LP 7075  which was issued under Monks name  on a OJC CD  Thelonious Monk / Sonny Rollins.

"Saxophone Colossus" is on the wantlist and soon coming in. Difficult is the track D4 of the twofer. He seems to be issued only on an EP 1337 .  There exists an LP on Bellaphone " MJQ the early years"  but the track with Rollins is missing on that LP which I have. So I will decide against the twofer  for that one special track.

Thanks for the informative conversation.

O.K.  I was just going by what discogs said -- but you can't always believe what the internet says.

Nice to listen once in a while but I prefer the trio with Thigpen. These LP’s are the oldest in my collection (end of the 1950’s) and I like that idea.

with Ahmed Abdullah, Billy Bang, Marion Brown, Sirone, Fred Hopkins and Andrew Cyrille. Must say it‘s not as great as expected seeing those names but it’s still a very solid session.

I have that and remember thinking much the same when I bought it but when I dug it out a little while ago, after a very long time it surprised me just how good it was.

Joe Chambers - The Almoravid [Muse, 1974]

Sometimes albums with big reputatiions, and attendant inflated used market prices, live up to and even surpass expectations. Here's one
