1	The Bridge (1962) more music like this by Sonny Rollins The music on this 1996 CD has been reissued many times, including in the Bluebird series. Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' first recording after ending a surprising three-year retirement found the great saxophonist sounding very similar to how he had played in 1959, although he would soon start investigating freer forms. In a pianoless quartet ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
2	Saxophone Colossus (1956) more music like this by Sonny Rollins 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 $10.80! new only from $10.80!
3	Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $25.66! new only from $51.66!
4	Easy Living (1977) more music like this by Sonny Rollins One of Sonny Rollins' better recordings of the 1970s, this spirited Milestone set (reissued on CD under the Original Jazz Classics imprint) finds the veteran tenor saxman adopting a thicker and raunchier R&B-ish tone. Although sticking close to the melody, he really tears into Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" and finds interesting new variations ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
5	Sonny Rollins with the Modern Jazz Quartet (1951) more music like this by Sonny Rollins With the Modern Jazz Quartet 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 $10.44! new only from $10.44!
6	Thelonious Monk & Sonny Rollins (1953) more music like this by Thelonious Monk With Sonny Rollins This disc contains an all-star cast headed up by Thelonious Monk (piano) and includes some collaborative efforts with Sonny Rollins (tenor sax) that go beyond simply inspired and into a realm of musical telepathy. The five tunes included on Work are derived from three separate sessions held between November of 1953 and September of the following ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
7	On Impulse! (2005) more music like this by Sonny Rollins see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
8	Tenor Madness (1956) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Quartet This CD (whose contents have since been reissued many times) is highlighted by the one meeting on record between Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane, an exciting battle on "Tenor Madness." Otherwise this is a more conventional but no less worthy Rollins quartet session with him turning such odd material as "My Reverie" and "The Most Beautiful Girl in ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
9	Sonny Side Up (1957) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie/Sonny Stitt/Sonny Rollins 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 $16.57! new only from $16.57!
10	Sonny, Please (2006) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Most musicians would at least be considering the idea of retirement by the time they reach their mid-seventies, but most musicians aren't Sonny Rollins. After a five-year recording hiatus, Rollins returned from a Japanese tour and took his band into the studio to cut Sonny, Please. It's the first release on his own Doxy label, coming after a ... see all copies from $9.28! new only from $14.60!
11 view cover	This Is What I Do (2000) more music like this by Sonny Rollins 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 $9.99! new only from $13.91!
12 view cover	Way Out West (1957) more music like this by Sonny Rollins 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 $5.99! new only from $10.80!

14 view cover	Without a Song: The 9/11 Concert (2005) more music like this by Sonny Rollins 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 $5.01! new only from $14.00!
15 view cover	Silver City: A Celebration of 25 Years on Milestone (1972) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Sonny Rollins' Milestone period, which resulted in 20 separate recordings from 1972-96, has been much maligned by dissatisfied jazz critics who feel the great tenor's later output has not been on the same level as his earlier work. Although there have been a few inconsistent sets during the time, the best of Rollins' records from those years ranks ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $18.83!
16 view cover	The Impulse Story (2006) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Sonny Rollins issued only three albums on the Impulse! label, all of them recorded between 1965 and 1966. This volume in The Impulse Story series features three tracks each from Sonny Rollins on Impulse!, Alfie (the music included consists of re-recorded titles he wrote for the score), and East Broadway Run Down. These three albums feature Rollins ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
17 view cover	Don't Stop the Carnival (1978) more music like this by Sonny Rollins This set (recorded live over a three-day period at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco in 1978) finds the great tenor Sonny Rollins welcoming trumpeter Donald Byrd to half of the selections; Byrd was beginning his comeback...and is in so-so form. The four-piece rhythm section includes drummer Tony Williams. These versions of "Don't Stop ... see all copies from $16.57! new only from $16.57!
18 view cover	Prestige Profiles, Vol. 3 (2005) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Prestige Profiles, Vol. 3 highlights recordings made in the 1950s by tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins for the legendary jazz label. Although the majority of these ten tracks are standards, including "More Than You Know," "On a Slow Boat to China," and "It's All Right with Me," they emphasize Rollins' ability to make every performance his own, no ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
19 view cover	Sonny Meets Hawk! [9 Tracks] (1963) more music like this by Sonny Rollins & Coleman Hawkins 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 $8.11! new only from $8.11!
20 view cover	Sonny Rollins Plus Four [RVG Remasters] (2007) more music like this by Sonny Rollins 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 $10.29! new only from $10.29!

25 view cover	Sonny Rollins and the Big Brass (1958) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Big Brass is an appropiate name for the large ensemble arranged and conducted by Ernie Wilkins that accompanies the huge sound of Sonny Rollins. The energy within the leader's gospel-flavored shout "Grand Street" is considerable, while a swinging but no less powerful version of George & Ira Gershwin's "Who Cares" features a choice solo by ... see all copies from $12.00!
