Description
MINI-LP PAPERSLEEVE GATEFOLD REPLICAS WITH OBI, 24-BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED.
Although it was divided into releases on two different labels the music heard here on tracks 1 to 10 belongs to the same extended engagement which featured Sonny Rollins performing in different formats with members of the Modern Jazz Quartet plus the latter group playing some tracks on their own. Rollins and John Lewis had previously recorded a few sessions as sidemen for J.J. Johnson in 1949 and for Miles Davis in 1951 and the saxophonist had made a full LP with the MJQ for Prestige in October 1953. The sessions at Music Inn presented here however would mark their final recordings together.

SONNY ROLLINS tenor sax (on 1-6)
JOHN LEWIS piano (out on 2-3)
