Either today, or Wednesday, is Sonny's 74th birthday, and what better way to mark the event than to play some of his music? The question is, which album(s) to play? Plus 4? Sax Colossus? The Bridge? Tenor Madness? Freedom Suite? Which is your fav?
Colossus is tough to beat, but I also like Volume Two, which features a guest spot by Thelonius Monk. Also fun is Dizzy's Sonny Side Up, with Rollins and Stitt.
1. Saxophone Colossus (JVC XRCD) 2. Alfie (Impulse) 3. The Bridge (RCA/BMG or Bluebird (reissue)) 4. Sonny Rollins in Japan (JVC XRCD) 5. The Contemporary Leaders (JVC XRCD) 6. All the Things You Are (RCA/BMG or Classic Records?) 7. Way Out West (XRCD)
