PRESTIGE PROFILES, a 10-volume series, highlights the work of the major artists who recorded for the label. Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins made some of his finest music for Prestige, including SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS, which is widely considered a definitve bop recording. Songs from COLOSSUS are included on this 10-song sampler, as are tunes from his other Prestige discs, all of which are top-shelf. The personnel, which includes Max Roach, Thelonious Monk, Clifford Brown, John Coltrane, and Art Blakey, reads like a who's who of jazz history. Prestige Profiles, Vol. 3 highlights recordings made in the 1950s by tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins for the legendary jazz label. Although the majority of these ten tracks are standards, including "More Than You Know," "On a Slow Boat to China," and "It's All Right with Me," they emphasize Rollins' ability to make every performance his own, no matter how many times he has played a particular song. Also included are the Rollins-penned "Tenor Madness," "Mambo Bounce," and "St. Thomas," a tune that has since become a modern jazz standard. While there is nothing here the jazz collector doesn't already own, Prestige Profiles, Vol. 3 provides a decent sampling for the curious listener at a mid-line price. For a limited time, the first ten volumes in this series include a free bonus compilation CD of Prestige artists. ~ Al Campbell Producer: Bob Weinstock; Ira Gitler Engineer: Rudy Van Gelder   Compilation Appearances Milstone Jazzstars In Concert Working Girl Complete Rodgers & Hart Songbo Priceless Jazz Sampler Riverside Records Story Play Duke Ellington-Caravans Montreal Jazz Festival Ken Burns Jazz-Story Of America Ken Burns Jazz Ken Burns Jazz Nea Jazz Masters Contemporary Records Story It's De Lovely: Authentic Cole Porter Collection Jazz Bar Vol 2 Harold Arlen Centennial Celebration Basquiat's Journey Through Jazz Prestige Profiles Prestige Profiles New York For Lovers 1105 House That Trane Built: Story of Impulse Records Milestone Profile (Bonus Cd) At Music Inn Vol 2 Cafe Jazz Jazz In The City Roy Haynes:jazz Roy Haynes:jazz Very Best Of Prestige (Prestige 60Th Bluesology:anthology/atlantic Years 1   Associated Artists and Works Blakey, Art Brooks, Hadda Brown, Clifford Brown, Clifford Burton, Gary Burton, Gary (Vibes) Cherry, Don (Jazz) Davis, Miles Davis, Miles Davis, Miles Davis, Miles Davis, Miles The Classic Prestige Sessions, 1951-1956 ~ Davis, Miles Davis, Miles Gabel, Denis Duets: Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt ~ Gillespie, Dizzy Sonny Side Up ~ Gillespie, Dizzy Gillespie, Dizzy Hawkins, Coleman That's Him ~ Lincoln, Abbey Lincoln, Abbey Lincoln, Abbey Modern Jazz Quartet Modern Jazz Quartet Monk, Thelonious Monk, Thelonious Monk, Thelonious Monk, Thelonious Monk, Thelonious Alfie (Sdtk) ~ Original Soundtrack Alfie ~ Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Alfie ~ Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max   Technical Info Release Date : 10/25/2005 Original Release Date : 2005 Catalog ID : 185 803 Label : Fantasy (distributor) Number of Discs : 2 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00025218580328    Related Videos Randy Jackson: Randy Jack...
