Label: Honeypie

Reissued 2023, Originally released 1962

Originally released by RCA Victor in 1962, Our Man in Jazz marks Sonny Rollins's first step towards a more open and explorative form of jazz. Performed by a piano-less line-up featuring two hipper creative Ornette Coleman alumni: Don Cherry on trumpet and Billy Higgins on drums plus the super solid double bass of Bob Cranshaw, this release stands as a brilliant document of the early sixties new wave in jazz.
