Recording

The album was recorded at Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey, on September 22, 1957.[6] Five of the six tracks are played by the quartet of Rollins, Wynton Kelly (piano), Doug Watkins (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums).[6] Only Rollins and Jones play on "Surrey with the Fringe on Top".[6]

Release history

The release marked the beginning of Blue Note 4000 series: from this album on, the releases would be catalogued as "BLP 4..." (mono) and "BST 84..." (stereo).

Title

The title of the album is a reference to Rollins' nickname "Newk", which is apparently based on his resemblance to Don Newcombe, a pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers.[7] "Namely You" was taken from the Broadway show Li'l Abner.
