" 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," (...) and constructs a solo on "Blue Seven" that practically defines his style. "

Country: Germany
Lp's & Cv: Exc
" This two-LP set contains a couple of the very best Norman Granz studio sessions. Dizzy Gillespie is matched with the great tenor Sonny Rollins on two selections, Sonny Stitt takes Rollins's place for a couple of other songs and then the two Sonnys team up with Gillespie for four remarkable selections. "

4. Max Roach – Conversations
Label: Milestone – M 47061
Format: 2 x Vinyl, LP, Compilation
Country: US
Released: 1981
Lp's: Exc & Cv: Vg+
" The music is somewhere between hard bop and the avant-garde, and the musicians really push each. Clifford Jordan fans in particular will find the first album 'Speak, Brother, Speak,' to be an interesting set. 'Deeds, Not Words' is a Max Roach Riverside date notable for featuring the great young trumpeter Booker Little and for utilizing Ray Draper's tuba as a melody instrument; tenor saxophonist George Coleman and bassist Art Davis complete the excellent quintet.
