Sonny Rollins with the Modern Jazz Quartet

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 ...

by Sonny Rollins

by Sonny Rollins

Sonny Rollins' (tenor sax) earliest sessions as a bandleader are among the fresh and vibrant baker's dozen of selections on With the Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) (1971).

Complete 1949-1951 Prestige Studio Sessions

Complete 1949-1951 Prestige Studio Sessions (2003) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins

The late '40s were a crucial time for a younger set of jazz musicians reared on bebop and searching for their own sound. Sonny Rollins was easily in the top of his class of up-and-comers in 1949 when he made his recording debut with Babs Gonzales. Already showcasing his muscular tone and fluid lines, Rollins would develop into one of the most ...

The Best of Sonny Rollins [Prestige]

The Best of Sonny Rollins [Prestige] (2004) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins

It's easy to look at the titles of a number of jazz musicians' albums from the 1950s and wonder to oneself: were these guys egotistical? Tenor Sonny Rollins, for instance, named one album Saxophone Colossus and another Tour de Force. While one might blush at the lack of modesty, it's still difficult to argue about the results. Rollins, as he ...

Jazz Biography (2007) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins

It seems amazing, really, given the casualty rate among the first wave of bop musicians, but Sonny Rollins has actually had a jazz career that stretches over a half-century and he is still active and recording in the early part of the 21st century. This 16-track set features Rollins' earliest sides from 1949, 1950, and 1951 on the Prestige label ...
