Title: the round sound
Product review: I bought this CD a few months ago and though I liked it immediately, it took some time for it to take its place among my favorites.It's there now, though I can't say what was responsible for the delay. I was not too familiar with Sonny Rollins' work before this, and perhaps it seemed a bit predictable when compared to the fierce music of someone like John Coltrane, which I loved immediately. But eventually the roundness of the sax and the overall quality of the sound won me over.I have also noticed that this is one of my jazz CDs that even my non-jazz-loving friends seem to appreciate, something tells me that it would make a great introduction to either the genre or the artist.Once you get your copy, pay special attention to Blue 7 (track 5), which I think is the best on the CD. Also, if the wonderful track 4, Moritat, seems familiar, you may have heard a very similar version of the song done in the past with the name Mac the Knife.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
