What could be better than an album by Sonny Rollins? Two albums by Sonny Rollins, especially a reissue of two treasured Impulse! releases—On Impulse! (1965) and There Will Never Be Another You (1978)—in their entirety, on a single 75-minute CD. That's a lot of satisfying tenor time with the Saxophone Colossus.
