Walter Theodore "Sonny" Rollins (born September 7, 1930) is an American jazz tenor saxophonist, widely recognized as one of the most important and influential jazz musicians. A number of his compositions, including "St. Thomas", "Oleo", "Doxy", "Pent-Up House", and "Airegin", have become jazz standards.
Rollins was born in New York City to parents from the United States Virgin Islands. The youngest of three siblings, he grew up in central Harlem and on Sugar Hill, Harlem, receiving his first alto saxophone at the age of seven or eight. He attended Edward W. Stitt Junior High School and graduated from Benjamin Franklin High School in East Harlem. He has said that a concert by Frank Sinatra at his high school, accompanied by a plea for racial harmony, changed his life. Rollins started as a pianist, changed to alto saxophone, and finally switched to tenor in 1946. During his high school years, he played in a band with other future jazz legends Jackie McLean, Kenny Drew and Art Taylor.
Personnel: Sonny Rollins (tenor saxophone); Tommy Flanagan (piano); Doug Watkins (bass); Max Roach (drums).

Christianity reached the shores of India when St. Thomas, the apostle of Jesus Christ set foot on the shores of Muziris (Cragannore) in Kerala India in 52 AD. He preached the gospel and the good news of Jesus Christ and he established seven and a half churches at Kodungalloor, Paravur (Kottakayal), Palayoor, Kokkamangalam, Nilackal, Kollam, Niranam and a half church at Thiruvithancode. He baptized several people who are today known as Saint Thomas Christians or Nasranis.
After graduating college in the summer of 2012, my best friend Amber and I decided to move to the US Virgin Islands for a little while! We had never been before, so we flew down for two weeks, to see how we'd like it. Then we went home to prepare. I sold my car and almost all of my belongings to afford the move. We flew down again in late October, without a job, and with only two friends we had met that first trip, who agreed to let us sleep on their floor for a week. Within one week, Amber and I found a studio apartment on the beach for $1400 a month ($700 each). We both got jobs working on sail boats and leading snorkel tours for cruise ship tourists. For a couple of girls who had never been on sail boats or snorkeled in the deep blue before, we were in for quite an adventure. What comm...

Sonny Rollins - tenor saxophone Jim Hall - guitar Bob Cranshaw - bass Ben Riley - drums The Bridge, 1962, was the first release of jazz giant Sonny Rollins following his unexpected early retirement in 1959 and his first recording for Bluebird/RCA Victor.

(Harold Adamson, Jimmy McHugh) "John S." (Sonny Rollins) "The Bridge" (Rollins) "God Bless the Child" (Arthur Herzog Jr., Billie Holiday) "You Do Something to Me" (Cole Porter)

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," tears into the chord changes of "Mack the Knife" (here called "Moritat"), introduces "Strode Rode," is lyrical on "You Don't Know What Love Is," and constructs a solo on "Blue Seven" that practically defines his style. Essential music that, as with all of Rollins' Prestige recordings, has also been reissued as part of a huge "complete" box set; listeners with a tight budget ...
