Another tremendous Impulse 2-on-1. This time we get the difficult to obtain 'There Will Never Be Another You' with the more familiar 'On Impulse'. This combination is most welcome. The first recording,live in 1965, has not been easily available until the 1970s. Recorded in New York's Museum of Modern Art, Rollins plays with a freedom of expression that makes the obstruction to its release difficult to understand initially. 'Green Dolphin Street' opens Rollins to his own ideas and intricacies. 'There Will Never Be Another You' finds him wandering around the mike with the continuing backing of his rhythm section. Perhaps the recording did not meet the demands of the leader whose standards were high, professionally and technically. Nothing wrong with his end!
'On Impulse' is classical Sonny Rollins. His total control is so evident on 'Three Little Words' followed (or chased) by Ray Bryant(p),Walter Booker (b), Mickey Roker(d), that listening is all that is needed. His calypso 'Hold 'em Joe' exemplifies the band's skills.
It goes without saying that this is one of the greatest tenor saxophonists producing brilliant music. Some rarities. Bargain price. Excellent sound. Original cover notes if you can see in the dark! Highly recommended.

Sonny Rollins' brief period with the Impulse label in 1965 and '66 has always been associated with the three albums "On Impulse","Alfie" and "East Broadway Run Down".However,a fourth album,"There Will Never Be Another You" comprising material recorded live about a month before the summer '65 "On Impulse" session, wasn't released owing,I understand, to dissatisfaction with the sound quality (some sections have Rollins playing off-mike).I think it managed to get issued in Japan but didn't get an American release until 1978.The point is that the live set was always a bit of an obscurity so it's great to see it coupled on one cd with the "On Impulse" album,an essential part of any Rollins collection.Of course most Rollins fans would own a copy of the "On Impulse" cd as it's one of Rollins' best but I think that the addition of the complete live album and the bargain price makes the replacement of that old copy of "On Impulse" worthwhile.Unfortunately,there's no new sleeve note specifically for this release and the booklet just contains facsimiles of the original lp cover and backliner notes (you'll need a magnifying glass to read the "Another You" notes)but the set is great value and let's hope Verve issue an "Alfie/East Broadway Run Down" 2-on-1 soon.
