Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus (Episode 170)

[@mikewebber3693]

another excellent review Alan. Sonny's 50s output was amazing. Thanks for including the pic of Van Gelder's first studio, had never seen it before.

Thanks Mike. Once you realize that those Venetian blinds are in that house (there's also a doorway which features prominently in many photos), it's amazing how many of those classic B+W shots by Francis Wolff were taken in that room.

"... discussed passionately by middle-aged men with beards ..." - that made me really chuckle!

Very nice review. Is it an original pressing ? I own a reissue pressed at QRP and it sounds amazing. The music is fantastic.

No, it's more recent though it sounds good to me. Here's the release info on discogs: www.discogs.com/Sonny-Rollins-Saxophone-Colossus/release/6584452
