Sonny Rollins is an American jazz tenor saxophonist, widely recognized as one of the most important and influential jazz musicians. He has worked with greats such as Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, and Max Roach. In May 2007, he was awarded the prestigious Polar Music Prize. In March 2011, he received the National Medal Of Arts from President Barack Obama.
Born on September 7, 1930 in New York City, Sonny Rollins has made significant contributions to the world of jazz throughout his career. His innovative style and virtuosic playing have earned him a reputation as a true master of his craft.
Rollins' collaborations with other legendary musicians have produced some of the most iconic recordings in jazz history. His ability to seamlessly blend different musical styles and create unique improvisations sets him apart from other artists in the genre.

Doxy is a Russian bootleg label that specializes in vinyl reissues. They have also launched the Dig-A-Log Series, which focuses on album reissues on vinyl and includes a bonus CD of the album. In addition, they have introduced a new line called ACV, using clear-native co-polymer for their vinyl process to reduce electrical distortion on records. Doxy's catalog includes CDs and boxsets.

Though he may have lacked the improvisational fire of John Coltrane or the restless curiosity of Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins played with a rich, round tone that complemented his melodic inclinations, making him the most accessible of the postbop musicians. Saxophone Colossus is the most successful of the late 1950s albums that made his reputation. Rollins's playing never falters; he's backed by the redoubtable Max Roach on drums, Tommy Flanagan on piano, and Doug Watkins on bass. Rollins is equally at home with the lilting Caribbean air of "St. Thomas," standards ("You Don't Know What Love Is"), blues ("Strode Rode," featuring a driving Flanagan solo), and a smoldering version of Brecht-Weill's "Moritat" (better known as "Mac the Knife").
