Recently I listened to "Way out West" from that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted September 8 Author Report Share Posted September 8 6 hours ago, Caravan said: " In 1957 he was coming off a superlative year; he [.........] continued to work with Clifford Brown....." Clifford Brown died in 1956. The passage quoted is actually referring to 1956 (“a superlative year”) and the Roach-Brown Quintet with Rollins in it was working all the way up to the time of Brownie’s death. He also appeared on Rollins’ 1956 album Plus Four. Apologies if the construction of the sentence made that unclear. In 1957 he was coming off a superlative year; he'd recorded several albums, including Saxophone Colossus andWorktime, continued to work with Clifford Brown and Max Roach, and appeared onThelonious Monk's masterpiece Brilliant Corners.
