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 $51.23! 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 $3.03! new only from $9.14!
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 $4.37! new only from $6.46!
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 $8.94! new only from $15.34!
5	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 $9.14! new only from $9.14!
6	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!
7	Sonny Rollins with the Modern Jazz Quartet (1951) 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	Newk's Time [Bonus Track] (2004) 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 $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	Without a Song: The 9/11 Concert (2005) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist When the disasters on 9/11 occurred, the great tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins was in his New York apartment, only blocks away from the World Trade Center. He survived a night without electricity and was of course deeply affected by the catastrophe. At the urging of his wife and manager, Lucille, he fulfilled an engagement to play in Boston four ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $6.95!
10	A Night at the Village Vanguard [Complete] (1957) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist This CD is often magical. Sonny Rollins, one of jazz's great tenors, is heard at his peak with a pair of piano-less trios (either Wilbur Ware or Donald Bailey on bass and Elvin Jones or Pete La Roca on drums) stretching out on particularly creative versions of "Old Devil Moon," "Softly As in a Morning Sunrise," "Sonnymoon for Two," and "A Night in ... see all copies from $20.60! new only from $20.60!
11	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 $4.80! new only from $5.46!
12	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 $9.73! new only from $9.73!
13	Verve Story 1944-1994 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $18.95! new only from $41.48!
14	Tenor Madness [2006] (2006) 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 $5.09! new only from $9.14!
15	Sonny Rollins Plus Four [RVG Remasters] (2007) more music like this by Sonny Rollins 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!
16	The Modern Jazz Quartet At Music Inn, Vol. 2 (1958) 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!
17	The Sound of Sonny [2004 SACD] (1957) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist The interpretive and understated fire of tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins is at the heart of The Sound of Sonny. This disc is among those produced during the prolific years (1957-1959) when Rollins was jumping from record label to record label -- a practice unheard of at the time. Joining Rollins during the seminal June 1957 East Coast outing are ... see all copies from $17.02! new only from $17.02!
18	The Freelance Years: The Complete Riverside and Contemporary Recordings (1956) 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 $29.99! new only from $54.44!
19	The Complete Blue Note Recordings (1956) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist The Complete Blue Note Records is a five-disc box set that contains everything Sonny Rollins recorded for the label between 1956 and 1957. Each disc has been previously released individually -- this set simply collects Sonny Rollins, Vols. 1 & 2, Newk's Time and A Night at the Village Vanguard, Vols. 1 & 2 in one slipcase, with no new remastering. ... see all copies from $418.77! new only from $418.77!
20	The Prestige Records Story (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Like most of the now-prized jazz labels, Prestige Records sprang from the vision of one man - a 20-year-old kid, actually - named Bob Weinstock, who guided the label from its infancy in 1949 until 1971 when he sold out to Fantasy. Although Prestige continued to record for awhile after 1971, Fantasy chose to survey only the Weinstock years in this ... see all copies from $39.73! new only from $39.73!
21	The Complete RCA Victor Recordings (1997) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist This six-CD set has all of tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' recordings for RCA, including the complete contents of The Bridge, What's New, Our Man In Jazz, Sonny Meets Hawk, Now's the Time and The Standard Sonny Rollins, the three selections originally included in the sampler 3 for Jazz, and 11 alternate takes only previously released on the ... see all copies from $431.74! new only from $431.74!
22	Priceless Jazz Sampler (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Priceless Jazz Sampler offers 15 highlights from BMG/RCA's Priceless series, including cuts by Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Lionel Hampton, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman and Woody Herman. There's nothing rare on the compilation, so it's not necessary for collectors, but it's not a bad sampler for casual listeners curious about the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.88!
23	Discover an American Original: The Jazz Sampler (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Jazz: Discover American Originals is a good sampler of NARM's series of the same name. Anyone who follows the series will already have everything that's on the disc, but it's a good choice for listeners curious about the label's offerings. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
24	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Sonny Rollins add to wishlist With cooperation from the Verve and Columbia Legacy catalogs, the Ken Burns Jazz series on CD individually spotlights the musical excellence of 22 jazz originators whose careers and influence are explored in Burns' PBS documentary Jazz. Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins is represented beginning with his composition "Oleo" performed with the Miles ... see all copies from $4.62! new only from $9.14!
