Album notes
Personnel: Sonny Rollins (tenor saxophone); Tommy Flanagan (piano); Doug Watkins (bass); Max Roach (drums).
Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey on June 22, 1956. Originally released on Prestige (7079). Includes liner notes by Ira Gitler and Martin Williams.
DCC Gold Discs are mastered from original master tapes played back on a reconstructed vintage tube reproducer. The discs are custom-manufactured and plated with 24-karat gold, and housed in a lift-lock jewel box.

The year 1956 marked a turning point for Sonny Rollins. Out of the ashes of what had been a talented but troubled young tenor saxophonist, came a new Sonny Rollins, his purpose clarified and strengthened, his muse razor sharp and brimming with new visions. As a new member of the Clifford Brown/Max Roach Organization, he was inspired as much by their spiritual consistency as their artistic integrity. By his own admission, even as a jazz tadpole, Sonny Rollins possessed a brawny sound and a powerful rhythmic drive...but other elements were missing.
With SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS, Sonny Rollins created a personal vision of the tenor saxophone and modern jazz brimming over with joy and conviction. SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS was a breakthrough recording, praised for its lyrical power, thematic logic, relentless swing and spontaneous invention. Borrowing a page from his West Indian roots, Rollins' "St. Thomas" employed elements of Caribbean folk melodies and calypso rhythms to create an exotic, dancing tenor anthem--one of the most identifiable, beloved themes in all of jazz--driven along by Max Roach's melodic drumming, Tommy Flannagan's shimmering accompaniment, and the saxophonist's swaggering melodic invention.
Rollins displayed fresh harmonic power and innovative methods of thematic develpment throughout SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS. On the swinging starts and stops of "Strode Rode" and the dreamy blues cycles of "Blue 7," Rollins began his solos with simple melodic motifs, and orchestrated them into grand, elongated thematic statements--every note made meaningful by Rollins' extraordinary sense of development and intuitive musical architecture. In addition, his tenor timbre took on renewed vigor and complexity on two ballads: "Moritat" (our old friend "Mack The Knife") and his epic reading of "You Don't Know What Love Is."

Editorial reviews
The title is not hyperbole....Important as some of his later work has been, the tenor saxophonist's levels of thematic development, assurance, humor and general creative force in SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS remain unequaled....this is an essential album.
JazzTimes (04/01/1996)

5 Stars - Excellent ...Rollins displays humor, gentleness, a delicate feeling for beauty....I find this entire album excellent on all counts and for all persons concerned.

Other Reviews

Записи Cонни Роллинза 1957-59 годов напоминают не только о его выдающихся достижениях, но содержат наиболее блестящие импровизации современного джаза. Это можно сказать об альбомах: Saxophone Colossus (Prestige), Way Out West (Contemporary), Freedom Suite (Riverside) и различных выступлениях в джазовом клубе Blue Note.

В 1959 джазовый критик Гюнтер Шуллер удостоил высшей похвалы игру Роллинза на композиции ''Blue 7'' из альбома ''Saxophone Colossus''. Шуллер увидел способности Роллинза разбивать мелодическую тему на элементы орнамента и работать в каждом элементе узора с полной самоотдачей как композитора, - вместо обычной джазовой методологии использования аккордовых последовательностей.

I now bought the DCC CD remastered by Steve Hoffman in the early 90's (OOP but can be found on Ebay quite often). The difference between the two remasterings is that the DCC CD sounds completely "dry" while the SACD has some added artificial reverb. This may be a matter of taste, but I prefer to hear the music in the most original state, so in this case the less manipulated transfer to CD is preferable to the treatment with added reverb, despite the hi-rez advantage.

Юр, еще раз спасибо за Роллинса!
Слушаю его почти каждый день и балдею! Я не могу поверить, что это моно запись! Ощущение объемности звука не покидает ни на секунду.
Я понял - джазовые диски от DCC - это первоочередная наша задача! :-)
Очень хочется Sonny Rollins - Way Out West кажется это выпускалось на Analogue Productions Gold CD! Может где видел? У нас есть SACD, но я не уверен, что он лучше этого ЦД.

А еще хочется от DCC:
DCC GZS-1087 1995 Gold CD Rollins, Sonny - Tenor Madness
DCC GZS-1092 1996 Gold CD Rollins, Sonny - The Sound of Sonny

Вот бы под новый год ето получить?:+! :-)
