Sonny Rollins' Saxophone Colossus is widely regarded as one of the greatest jazz albums ever recorded, capturing the tenor saxophonist at the absolute peak of his powers. Recorded at the legendary Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, NJ in June 1956 and released on Prestige Records, this landmark session showcases Rollins' extraordinary improvisational genius and cemented his place among the giants of jazz.
This is a rare first pressing on the Prestige label, identifiable by the original West 50th Street address on both labels and back cover, making it a highly desirable find for serious collectors. The album comes in its original laminated sleeve and carries the catalog number PRLP 7079, and this limited edition pressing on blue vinyl adds a striking visual element to one of jazz's most essential recordings.
