Sonny Rollins’ Saxophone Colossus isn’t just a great album, it’s a landmark in jazz. Recorded in 1956, it showcases Rollins’ mastery of the tenor saxophone. Backed by a stellar rhythm section featuring Tommy Flanagan, Max Roach, and Doug Watkins, Rollins unleashes a torrent of inventive melodies and improvisations.
The album is a blend of infectious energy and cool composure. Whether it’s the swaggering calypso groove of “St. Thomas” or the introspective ballad “Moritat,” Rollins commands attention. His solos are both technically dazzling and deeply expressive, leaving you wanting more with each note. Saxophone Colossus is a must-listen for any jazz fan, and a prime example of why Sonny Rollins is considered a true giant of the genre.
