1	Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program is the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, its 94 selections covering the history ... see all copies from $39.99! new only from $51.23!
2	Saxophone Colossus (1956) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist Sonny Rollins recorded many memorable sessions during 1954-1958, but Saxophone Colossus is arguably his finest all-around set. Joined by pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Max Roach, Rollins debuts and performs the definitive version of "St. Thomas," tears into the chord changes of "Mack the Knife" (here called "Moritat"), ... see all copies from $7.17! new only from $8.09!
3	Tenor Madness (1956) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Quartet add to wishlist At a time when he was a member of the legendary Clifford Brown/Max Roach sextet, Sonny Rollins was still the apple fallen not too far from the tree of Miles Davis. Tenor Madness was the recording that, once and for all, established Newk as one of the premier tenor saxophonists, an accolade that in retrospect, has continued through six full decades ... see all copies from $4.39! new only from $7.14!
4	Sonny Side Up (1957) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie/Sonny Stitt/Sonny Rollins add to wishlist Dizzy Gillespie brings together tenor saxophonists Sonny Stitt and Sonny Rollins for four extended cuts, and in the process comes up with one of the most exciting "jam session" records in the jazz catalog. While the rhythm section of pianist Ray Bryant, bassist Tommy Bryant, and drummer Charlie Persip provides solid rhythmic support, Stitt and ... see all copies from $7.22! new only from $7.88!
5	This Is What I Do (2000) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist When it comes to picking material, today's young hard boppers (both instrumentalists and singers) could learn a lot from Sonny Rollins -- a tenor titan who has always had a way of surprising us with interesting, unexpected choices. Over the years, he hasn't made the mistake of limiting himself to overdone Gershwin and Cole Porter favorites; ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.03!
6	Way Out West (1957) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist The timeless Way out West established Sonny Rollins as jazz's top tenor saxophonist (at least until John Coltrane surpassed him the following year). Joined by bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne, Rollins is heard at one of his peaks on such pieces as "I'm an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande)," his own "Way out West," "There Is No Greater ... see all copies from $8.09! new only from $8.09!
7	Sonny Rollins with the Modern Jazz Quartet (1953) more music like this by Sonny Rollins With the Modern Jazz Quartet add to wishlist Included here are some of Sonny Rollins' earliest sessions as a bandleader. These are among the fresh and vibrant baker's dozen of selections on Sonny Rollins With the Modern Jazz Quartet (1953). The title is a bit misleading though, since the MJQ -- with John Lewis (piano), Milt Jackson (vibes), Percy Heath (bass), and Kenny Clarke (drums) -- is ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $8.16!
8	East Broadway Run Down (1966) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist Around the ten-minute mark of the title track, things get very interesting indeed -- moody and spooky as Jimmy Garrison hangs on a single note, making his bass throb along while Elvin Jones widens the space and fires drum and cymbal hits in all directions. Coming off bass and drum solos that never seem to fit anywhere in the piece, it's a supreme ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $12.75!
9	Newk's Time [Bonus Track] (1957) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist This 2004 Rudy Van Gelder edition of Sonny Rollins' classic Newk's Time album, which places the tenor saxophonist in the company of bassist Doug Watkins, drummer Philly Joe Jones, and pianist Wynton Kelly, features dramatically improved sound (unlike many of the titles in this series that have only marginally better fidelity). However, for those ... see all copies from $6.40! new only from $6.40!
10	Without a Song: The 9/11 Concert (2005) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist see all copies from $6.95! new only from $6.95!
11	A Night at the Village Vanguard [Complete] (1957) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist see all copies from $20.60! new only from $20.60!
12	Global Warming (1998) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist Rollins' 20th album for Fantasy finds him once again addressing environmental issues through his music as he previously had on 1958's Freedom Suite. In fact, Rollins refers to this disc as his "Freedom Suite of 1998." Besides the calypso-influenced title track, Rollins also pens three other new songs to fit this environmentally conscious project, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.67!
13	Sound of Sonny [2007 Bonus Track] (1957) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist A new phase in Sonny Rollins' career began in 1957. He started what was at the time an almost blasphemous trend of recording for a number of different labels. His pioneering spirit yielded a few genre-defining albums, including this disc. His performances were also at a peak during 1957 as Down Beat magazine proclaimed him the Critics' Poll winner ... see all copies from $8.16! new only from $8.16!
14	Sonny Meets Hawk! [9 Tracks] (1963) more music like this by Sonny Rollins & Coleman Hawkins add to wishlist This is a truly strange (but, ultimately, pretty great) conglomeration of material: tracks one through six comprise a tenor saxophone summit meeting of sorts between bebop master Sonny Rollins and pre-bop elder statesman Coleman Hawkins, with Paul Bley on piano, drummer Roy McCurdy and the bass chair alternating between Henry Grimes and Bob ... see all copies from $6.06! new only from $6.06!
15	The Complete Prestige Recordings (1992) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist This seven-CD box set lives up to its title, reissuing in chronological order all of tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' recordings for Prestige. Dating mostly from 1951-1956, these valuable performances find Rollins developing from a promising player to a potential giant; many of his best recordings would take place a year or two after this program ... see all copies from $62.91! new only from $62.91!
16	Complete Rodgers & Hart Songbook (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The classic songs of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart are rendered on this outstanding three-disc set, which features vocalists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Shirley Horn, Tony Bennett and Cassandra Wilson. Among the spotlighted instrumentalists are Charlie Parker, Coleman Hawkins, Art Tatum, Stan Getz, Bill ... see all copies from $27.82! new only from $27.82!
17	Tenor Madness [2006] (1956) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Quartet add to wishlist At a time when he was a member of the legendary Clifford Brown/Max Roach sextet, Sonny Rollins was still the apple fallen not too far from the tree of Miles Davis. Tenor Madness was the recording that, once and for all, established Newk as one of the premier tenor saxophonists, an accolade that in retrospect, has continued through six full decades ... see all copies from $10.60! new only from $10.60!
18	The Freelance Years: The Complete Riverside and Contemporary Recordings (2000) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist Picking up only ten days after Fantasy's Complete Prestige Recordings box leaves off, these five discs run through one of Rollins' most fertile (some insist, the most fertile) periods. Not only are Rollins' Riverside and Contemporary sessions as a leader and sideman collected in toto; Fantasy also includes three tracks recorded for Period in ... see all copies from $54.44! new only from $54.44!
19	Sonny Rollins Plus Four [RVG Remasters] (1956) more music like this by Max Roach add to wishlist In 1956 Sonny Rollins used the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet (of which he was a member) as his sidemen for this Prestige set. The high points of this particularly strong hard bop set include "Valse Hot" (an early jazz waltz), a rapid rendition of "I Feel a Song Coming On" and Rollins' classic "Pent-Up House." Trumpeter Brown (heard on one of ... see all copies from $10.60! new only from $10.60!
20	The Modern Jazz Quartet at Music Inn, Vol. 2 (1966) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet with Sonny Rollins add to wishlist see all copies from $9.00! new only from $79.99!
21	Sonny Rollins Plus Four [Mobile Fidelity] (1956) more music like this by Max Roach add to wishlist In 1956 Sonny Rollins used the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet (of which he was a member) as his sidemen for this Prestige set. The high points of this particularly strong hard bop set include "Valse Hot" (an early jazz waltz), a rapid rendition of "I Feel a Song Coming On," and Rollins's classic "Pent-Up House." Trumpeter Brown (heard on one of ... see all copies from $49.11! new only from $49.11!
22	Monterey Jazz Festival: 40 Legendary Years (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This fascinating three-CD set has 28 performances (all but the Billie Holiday number were previously unreleased) taken from the Monterey Jazz Festival and programmed in chronological order. Starting with Dizzy Gillespie playing an unaccompanied version of "The Star Spangled Banner" that opened the very first festival and progressing up until the ... see all copies from $29.95! new only from $60.44!
23	Visions of Jazz: A Musical Journey (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Both beginning and ending with tracks uniting Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, Visions of Jazz: A Musical Journey is a two-disc set tracing the evolution of jazz. It hits most of the major artists -- Count Basie, Coleman Hawkins, Benny Goodman, Lester Young, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Stan Getz, Sonny ... see all copies from $28.78! new only from $28.78!
