The Art & Sounds of Blue Note: Sonny Rollins Vol.2 LP



Day 4 of our 1-week tribute to the art & music of Blue Note Records brings us to saxaphonist Sonny Rollins and his classic self-titled LP "Sonny Rollins Vol. 2" – maybe more famous for the cover art photo than the music within. Released in 1957, here is the first track on the album, "Why Dont I". DIGIT.

Sonny Rollins' landmark album Saxaphone Colossus was issued on Prestige Records
but the cover art was in the classic Blue Note style.
