Blue Note, 1957

Il colosso del sassofono Sonny Rollins aveva già registrato tre album in studio per la Blue Note per Alfred Lion - Sonny Rollins, Sonny Rollins, Vol. 2 e Newk's Time - quando, il 3 novembre 1957, scese le scale del Village Vanguard per registrare il suo primo album dal vivo in assoluto, nonché il primo album dal vivo mai registrato nell'iconico jazz club di New York: A Night at the Village Vanguard. L'album live in trio di Rollins, una vera e propria prova di virtuosismo, fu registrato prevalentemente durante il set serale con Wilbur Ware al contrabbasso ed Elvin Jones alla batteria, con due brani tratti dal set pomeridiano con Donald Bailey al contrabbasso e Pete La Roca alla batteria.

This expanded 3-LP Tone Poet Vinyl Edition of A Night at the Village Vanguard: The Complete Masters marks the first time Rollins' complete recorded performances from the Vanguard are available in a single vinyl package. Produced for release by Joe Harley, the vinyl is all-analog and cut directly from Rudy Van Gelder's never-before-used original 7.5ips master tapes by Kevin Gray. Pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, the three LPs come packaged in a deluxe tip-on trifold jacket which includes a booklet with never-before-seen photos by Francis Wolff; insightful essays by esteemed critics Nate Chinen and Bob Blumenthal; an excerpt from Aidan Levy's authoritative Rollins biography Saxophone Colossus which provides a riveting behind-the-scenes account of the volatile circumstances surrounding the recording; and a fascinating new interview with Rollins himself reflecting upon the album in conversation with Blue Note President Don Was.
