Always a restless creative spirit, a constantly self-renewing citizen of the jazz world and one of the music's leading lights, saxophone legend Sonny Rollins has long been ambivalent about, even averse to, the business side of music. However, since forming his own record label, Doxy, in 2005, Rollins has emerged as an inspired-and surprisingly assertive-entrepreneur.Dating from 1956, Tenor Madness by Sonny Rollins features the rhythm section of the Miles Davis Group. Miles was a tireless supporter of Rollins, and for this album he lent him his own lead tenor, John Coltrane. The album was conceived as a battle between Trane and Rollins, and the result is pure gold. This high fidelity SACD remaster from Analogue Productions features a recreation of the original Prestige LP album cover. ~ Amazon.com
