Moving discussion here - we were on Sonny Rollins’ Saxophone Colossus. It’s awesome. Thanks for the recommendation KD! Actually everyone’s playing here is pretty damn great and I always enjoy when everyone gets space.

Glad you liked it! For my money Sonny has one of the easiest, most pleasing tones in the genre -- just pure joy, even on the sad ballads. A catalog of riches awaits if you so desire!

Listened to much of The Bridge while walking along Brooklyn Bridge Park at lunch. Worked out pretty well.

:heartbeat:

What a beautiful album that is, with Rollins supported by the inimitable Jim Hall on guitar. And what a perfect setting! Have you read the story behind the album?

The one thing I wish was different about it was the hard panning of the sax entirely to the left, which makes it sound kind of weird on headphones. But man is it ever a stunning piece of work.

For sure. He creates an emotional palette that to me is unique. I feel I almost comprehend it, so my exploration is slow, trying to savour and understand each note and passage.

Other artists I just try to experience and appreciate.

It’s a lot of notes to savor.

Actually, I also move through his work very very slowly. It takes much more than one listen, for me because it is a bombardment of notes at times.

What I read third hand was that it was inspired from his time quitting recording and just practicing for 2 years on the Williamsburg Bridge. Agreed on the headphones but I got used to it quickly.

Yes! It was his first album after about a 4-year hiatus. The Williamsburg Bridge story is a fun piece of folklore that I think gets its fair share of pop culture references (i.e. Bleeding Gums Murphy on the Simpsons). One of Rollins's best for sure.

Folks who are interested in a Coltrane album with fewer notes should check out Ballads.

I've only listened to this album once but I really like what I'm hearing so far. The Coltrane influence is quite obvious especially on this one:

After few more spins I like the album even more. Somehow its a perfect summer album for me. Here's a very recent Sonny Rollins interview (released 5 days ago) for those who are interested. The audio is quite rough but the content is well worth it. I could've easily spent another hour or two listening to his stories:
