We Say...
Many of the great tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' finest performances occurred as a sideman — with Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Clifford Brown and Max Roach and Miles Davis. He's heard to very good advantage on two Davis CDs, "Collector's Items," (Prestige-1956) and "Bag's Groove"-Prestige 1954). These are very relaxed sessions — they could almost be dubbed chamber jazz. Rollins is known for the ferocious power of his playing, but his work on these Miles CDs is notable for its subtlety; notice how he unpredictably changes the speed of his playing on "No Line," "Vierd Blues" and "In Your Own Sweet Way." His solos are ingeniously constructed. Miles plays well on these tracks by every standard but his own. Tommy Flanagan, however, turns in exquisite solos. On the 1956 sides "Oleo," "Airegin," "Doxy" and "But Not for Me," Miles' playing had become firmer and more forceful. "Collector's Items" also has some Miles sextet selections with Charlie Parker on tenor sax.

They Say...
This set lives up to its title by including such interesting sessions as the 1953 date on which Miles Davis welcomed the two tenors of Sonny Rollins and Charlie Parker; other meetings with Rollins in 1951 and 1956; and a moody 1955 date with bassist Charles Mingus, trombone, vibes, and drums (a young Elvin Jones). Highlights include "No Line," "Vierd Blues," "In Your Own Sweet Way," "Nature Boy," and "There's No You." It's classic if often overlooked music from a variety of immortal jazzmen.
