About this topic

The studio albums of Sonny Rollins, the tenor saxophonist whose improvisations build like arguments and whose calypsos never stopped swinging. Studio albums only, curated across a career that runs from 1956 to 2006. Excluded, and worth saying because one of them is among his most famous records: his live albums. Also out are his film score, compilations, split albums shared with another leader, and the dates where he appears as a sideman. Because the catalogue runs past forty titles, this set is the canonical selection rather than the exhaustive discography. Name the albums, answer real trivia about the music and the career, match each cover to its title, sort them into release order, or pick his studio albums out of a grid of decoys. Sourced from Wikipedia's Sonny Rollins discography and cross-checked against Wikidata.
