SONNY ROLLINS - Saxophone Colossus (Waxtime Reissue) - LP - 180g Crystal Clear Vinyl [JUN 20]

LP - Limited Waxtime Clear Vinyl Series Edition 180g Crystal Clear Vinyl. 

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 "Saint Thomas" and his unforgettable version of "Moritat/Mack the Knife".
