Sonny in 1957.

[Hardbopjazz]

Sonny Rollins recorded 7 albums in 1957. He didn't realize it to someone told him. Apparently, there exists a recording of Rollins playing with Miles Davis and John Coltrane from 1957. Anyone ever hear about this?

Anything is possible but this is unlikely.  Losin lists no such session.  Neither does the Coltrane reference.  Rollins was leading his own band at this time and Trane was with Monk.

The Miles/Sonny/Trane set that is referenced in the "literature" is at the Audobon Ballroom circa 1949-50.  This is set at which Sonny "ruled", according to Jackie McLean.  It wasn't recorded.

I have doubts too. I've collected everything recorded by Sonny whether official or private and never ever seen reference to this.   Here's to hoping it really does exist.
