When Sonny Rollins entered the studio on June 22nd 1956, to record Saxophone Colossus, one of his most acclaimed albums as a leader, he had already been a regular member of the celebrated Max Roach-Clifford Brown Quintet, which explains the presence here of Max Roach on drums. Age 26, Rollins was already a well-known jazz figure but after this LP he became a true star. It includes his first recording of his classic “St. Thomas” and his unforgettable version of “Moritat/Mack the Knife”.
