First spin.  Just arrived in the mail about 30 minutes ago.  Already on the 'table.  

There's a Japanese CD of this that includes extra material that may or may not add value to the LP. Still trying to make up my mind on that one, as the OG LP imprinted a few decades ago.

I love how you can tell what period of Sonny the record or video is by his wardrobe. I don't think people talk about that, because, you know, clothes/wardrobe is "superficial" or "materialistic" or some such, like it's not an organically relevant part of the presentation, to which I say, THE HELL IT IS!

and to everybody else, I say, Good Morning!

As far as wardrobe goes, people talk about Hendrix's "hat period" and his "headband time."  Why can't we talk about Sonny's silky 70s shirt?!?! 

And what about the HATS?  Sonny can pull off a chapeau as well as anyone.   

 

 

 

The man digs his hats!

 

[JSngry]

Hats, definitely, YES!

When I saw Sonny Rollins in 1979 he had a hat similar to that blue hat on the first picture, but in white. It´s the same white hat he has on the photo of the back cover of the album "Don´t Ask" from the same year.

That's a very Webster Hall-sounding album, I think. Bought the LP back in the day and have always liked it. Some of the best Schildkraut, interesting if somewhat low-key Eager, and fine Ernie Royal.
