Sonny Rollins" mid-sixties experiment with bossa nova was completely different than was Stan Getz"s on "Jazz Samba". Rollins stayed true to his bop and avant garde roots, using bossa nova as a surgeon uses a scalpel, to dissect and deconstruct familiar melodies and turn them into something new. This hip reinterpretation of standards is Sonny"s trademark, and in this album it"s uncompromising.
