Rollins' playing never falters; he's backed by Max Roach on drums, Tommy Flannagan on piano, and Doug Watkins on bass.
Rollins is equally at home with the lilting Caribbean air of ("St. Thomas" ), standards ("You Don't Know What Love Is"),
blues ("Strode Rode", featuring a driving Tommy Flannagan solo), and a smoldering version of Brecht-Weill's "Moritat" (better known as "Mac the Knife").
