Description

Sonny Rollins – Saxophone Colossus Mono Lp 1964 In Shrinkwrap Drill Ho


———————————————————————————Saxophone Colossus Review by Scott Yanow


Sonny Rollins recorded many memorable sessions during 1954-1958, but Saxophone Colossus is arguably his finest all-around set. Joined by pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Max Roach, Rollins debuts and performs the definitive version of "St. Thomas," tears into the chord changes of "Mack the Knife" (here called "Moritat"), introduces "Strode Rode," is lyrical on "You Don't Know What Love Is," and constructs a solo on "Blue Seven" that practically defines his style. Essential music that, as with all of Rollins' Prestige recordings, has also been reissued as part of a huge "complete" box set; listeners with a tight budget are advised to pick up this single disc and be amazed.

CONDITION: I don’t list records as mint if they’ve been opened from the package. Therefore, I gave this one mint minus but the vinyl looks unplayed except for one insignificant mark which is barely visible. The jacket is very clean and still in shrinkwrap. . (see pics)
