High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sonny Rollins Plus 4 is a jazz album released by Sonny Rollins in 1956 for Prestige Records. In this album Rollins was playing with the Clifford Brown/ Max Roach Quintet, of which he was a member at the time. This was Rollins' first release after his very successful album Saxophone Colossus. The album was the last full recording including pianist Richie Powell and trumpeter Clifford Brown, as both died in a car accident three months later. The material from this album was later re-released on Rollins' seven CD set from Prestige. Rollins had written his two original compositions ("Pent-Up House" and "Valse Hot") while a sideman in the Max Roach/Clifford Brown Quintet. It was more common in the 50s for a sideman recording his own work to record with either the rhythm section or leader; thus it was unusual when Rollins recorded with the same musicians that he played with in the Quintet. Rollins had just joined the Quintet five months beforehand, replacing Harold Land, who had left New York to care for his sick wife in California.
