Sonny Rollins- Saxophone Colossus - Limited 180-Gram Crystal Clear Vinyl
When Sonny Rollins entered the studio to record Saxophone Colossus, one of his more acclaimed albums as a leader, on June 22, 1956, he had already been a regular member of the celebrated Max Roach-Clifford Brown Quintet for half a year. This fact also explains the presence of Roach. Four days later, that group would no longer exist, for on June 26 both Clifford Brown and the band's pianist Ritchie Powell were killed in a tragic car accident. Age 26, Rollins was already a well known jazz figure. He had recorded some albums as a leader but, above all, he had been part of one of the most outstanding combos of the period: the Miles Davis Quintet. THE COMPLETE ALBUM - 180-GRAM CRYSTAL CLEAR VINYL - LIMITED EDITION
