Saxophone Colossus

Saxophone Colossus delivers the most commanding tenor sax performance in jazz history, recorded in a single day on June 22, 1956. Sonny Rollins’s Prestige Records masterpiece features “St. Thomas,” based on a Virgin Islands calypso, which has been covered over 200 times and became a jazz standard. The album delivers 75 minutes of uninterrupted brilliance recorded in a single session.
