The critics who had been slow in recognizing what fellow jazzmen already knew-that here was a young giant in our midst-could not help see the light. Tenor Madness, in which Sonny Rollins was joined by the rhythm section from the Miles Davis Quintet, further substantiated his rapidly rising stature. The material is an effective mixture of Rollins' playing attitudes with an intriguing original, "Paul's Pal," and the mining of unusual material such as "My Reverie" and "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World." The celebrated title track features John Coltrane. Mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray.
