Sonny Rollins: Saxophone Colossus LTD version on vinyl LP in limited Remastered edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company WaxTime on 6. November 2012.

With the saxophone colossus, Sonny Rollins eventually earned great recognition as a central figure in the jazz world. Bis zu dieser Veröffentlichung hatte die Musikkritik Rollins nicht ernst genommen, während seine Kollegen bereits wussten, dass er zu den einflussreichen neuen Kräften der Jazz-Szene gehört. Saxophone Colossus aus dem Jahr 1956 inspirierte Kritiker zu wissenschaftlichen Abhandlungen; Fans feierten Rollins' Kreativität, seinen Humor und seine herausragenden Balladen. Begleitet wird der Tenor-Saxophonist von Tommy Flanagan am Klavier, Doug Watkins am Bass und Max Roach am Schlagzeug. Saxophone Colossus is one of Sonny Rollins' most acclaimed albums as a leader. It was recorded on June 22, 1956, by which time the saxophonist had been a permanent member of the famous Max Roach-Clifford Brown Quintet for six months. This fact also explains Roach's presence. Four days later, the group would no longer exist, because on June 26, Clifford Brown and the group's pianist Ritchie Powell were both killed in a tragic car accident. At the age of 26, Rollins was already a well-known jazz personality. He had several albums under his belt as a leader, but most importantly he was a member of one of the most important combos of the time: the Miles Davis Quintet. Saxophone Colossus enjoyed great critical success from the start and helped Rollins establish himself as a major jazz artist. The album features Rollins at the head of an all-star quartet that includes pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Doug Watkins and, as noted, drummer Max Roach.

Album spans genres Jazz and Bop. 180g Vinyl Limited Edition.
