Released in 1957 on Prestige, "Tour De Force" includes the final recordings Sonny Rollins made for the label. The saxophonist is backed by pianist Kenny Drew, bassist George Morrow and drummer Max Roach, with Earl Coleman appearing on vocals on two tracks. The Penguin Guide to Jazz gives the album four stars out of four and describes is as being "almost as good as Colossus, with the ferocious abstractions of 'B Swift' and 'B Quick' contrasting with the methodical, almost surgical destruction of "Sonny Boy".

Rudy Van Gelder Remaster - 2007

When Charlie Parker died, people who never had done anything in recognition of his great talent, suddenly rushed to the mourner’s bench and delivered eulogies. This record is by musicians who knew him intimately, appreciated him tremendously during his lifetime and felt his loss far more acutely than any of the self-styled sufferers. This is a simple tribute in the form of a medley composed of seven tunes that were recorded and, for the most part, played often by Parker.

Rudy Van Gelder Remaster - 2008

Another jazz classic that engineer Rudy Van Gelder recorded and digitally upgraded, Worktime is considered among Sonny Rollins's best albums. Recorded with Ray Bryant on piano, bassist George Morrow and the incomparable Max Roach on drums, this album was made shortly after Rollins came East as a member of the Max Roach/Clifford Brown group.
