Moving Out is an album by jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins. This was his second for Prestige Records, featuring Kenny Dorham, Elmo Hope, Percy Heath, and Art Blakey, and one track with Thelonious Monk, Tommy Potter, and Art Taylor.[1] The first 4 tracks had originally appeared on as the 10-inch LP Sonny Rollins Quintet Featuring Kenny Dorham (PrLP 186), and the final track had appeared on the 10-inch LP Sonny Rollins and Thelonious Monk (PrLP 190).[2]
Reception
[edit]At Allmusic, Michael G. Nastos called the group "one of the more potent combos of 1954."[3] Author and musician Peter Niklas Wilson called the album "simply a typical blowing session, in which virtuoso up-tempo playing and a wealth of invention in a well-known framework count for more than structural innovation".[4]
