Our Take
Our Take
Sonny Rollins' Saxophone Colossus is an absolute belter of an album, mate. It's like a delicious cuppa tea on a rainy day - warm, comforting, and oh so satisfying. Rollins' saxophone skills are on point, like a cat chasing after a mouse, never missing a beat.
From the groovy vibes of "St. Thomas" to the soulful sounds of "Blue 7," this album is a rollercoaster of emotions. It's like a walk through the bustling streets of London, with each track painting a vivid picture of the city's diverse culture and vibrant energy.
Rollins' saxophone playing is nothing short of magical, transporting you to a different world with each note. It's like jumping into a time machine and landing smack dab in the middle of a swinging jazz club in the 1950s.
The rest of the band ain't too shabby either, mate. With the likes of Tommy Flanagan on piano, Doug Watkins on bass, and Max Roach on drums, this album is a proper feast for the ears. Each musician brings their A-game, creating a seamless and captivating sound that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time.
So, if you're looking for a top-notch jazz album that will make you feel like you're floating on cloud nine, give Saxophone Colossus a spin. It's a true masterpiece that deserves a spot in every music lover's collection. Cheers, Sonny Rollins - you're an absolute legend.
