“A Night At The Village Vanguard” is one of the masterpieces left to us by Sonny Rollins, one of the greatest improvisers in jazz history. He mastered the tenor saxophone like no other and was able to dominate the music with it. “A Night At The Village Vanguard,” recorded on November 3, 1957, is the historic first live document of the legendary New York jazz club that has produced countless classics. That memorable day turned into a real tour de force – with two sessions: in the afternoon with Donald Bailey (double bass) and Pete La Roca (drums), and in the evening with double bassist Wilbur Ware and drummer Elvin Jones.
As part of the extremely popular “Blue Note 85th Anniversary Reissue Series” Universal Music Japan presents the sonically impressive remastering of this jazz classic by the legendary Kevin Gray, who is also responsible for Blue Note US's analog reissues such as “Tone Poet” and “Classic Vinyl” – as a limited Japan only UHQCD with OBI stripe. In addition, “A Night At The Village Vanguard: The Complete Masters” includes a 36-page booklet with previously unpublished photos by Francis Wolff, an essay, and a conversation between Rollins and Blue Note president Don Was.
