Sonny Rollins – Way Out West (1957)

Way Out West is a 1957 album by Sonny Rollins with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne, neither of whom had previously played or recorded with Rollins. This was the first time that he recorded an album with only bass and drums, with no pianist or guitarist playing chords. The reissue of the CD has additional takes of three of the songs, including the title track. These additional takes are all about twice as long, containing much longer solos from all three members of the band.

According to the liner notes by producer Lester Koenig, recording began at 3:00 a.m. to fit the musicians’ busy schedules, but “[a]t 7 a.m., after four hours of intense concentration, during which they recorded half the album, and should have been exhausted, Sonny said, ‘I’m hot now.’ Shelly who had been up for 24 hours, said, ‘Man, I feel like playing.’ And Ray, who was equally tired and had a studio call for the afternoon, just smiled.”

The cover photo was taken by celebrated jazz photographer William Claxton. Rollins stands amid a stretch of desert vegetation, dressed in a Stetson hat, gun belt, and empty holster, and holds his saxophone at waist level as if it were a pistol. The photo concept was Rollins’ own idea to celebrate his first trip West.

The 1989 CD edition did not correspond to the original LP, instead omitting the 1963 session and collecting the February 5, 1965, session for the first time. The 2000 CD edition restored the sequence of the original LP.

It was released in November 2014 in Japan on a limited SHM-CD that consisted of the original LP sequence, two tracks from the 1963 session that had been included in the CD edition of Straight No Filter. The remaining tracks from the 1965 session were also included.
