    About this album

    Worktime is a taut and inventive Sonny Rollins album that shows the tenor saxophonist refining his early voice with exceptional clarity and drive. Recorded in 1956, it sits in the crucial mid-1950s period when Rollins was helping define the transition from bop into hard bop. The set balances familiar standards and Rollins originals, including Paradox, with the kind of rhythmic authority and melodic imagination that made him one of jazz’s most influential improvisers. Its lean, unforced intensity and strong thematic logic helped establish Rollins as a singular modern jazz voice, equally grounded in tradition and capable of pushing it forward.
