Sonny Rollins Quartet – Tenor Madness

Tenor Madness by the Sonny Rollins Quartet, recorded in 1956, is a landmark jazz album that captures the dynamic interplay between two tenor saxophone giants: Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane. The title track stands as their only recorded collaboration, offering a twelve-minute exploration of blues-infused improvisation. Backed by the formidable rhythm section of Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums, the album showcases the quintet's cohesive synergy and the individual prowess of each musician.
