There are five tracks on the album, three of which are credited to Rollins. "St. Thomas" is a calypso-inspired piece named after Saint Thomas in the Virgin Islands. The tune is traditional and had already been recorded by Randy Weston in 1955 under the title "Fire Down There". (In the booklet provided with the boxed set, The Complete Prestige Recordings, Rollins makes it clear that it was the record company that insisted on his taking credit.) In any case, the piece has since become a jazz standard, and this is its most famous recorded version.

About:
How can one fail to be sensitive to this portrait of Sonny Rollins, an endearing personality who always seems to camp in an unstable balance between impetuosity and serenity, as if there were a physical, ethical and artistic refusal of immobility in him?
Saxophone Colossus illustrates this ambivalence in two parts. If the second part sheds light on the mystical dimension of the character ("I studied Zen in Japan, Yoga in India and I was born a Christian in the USA" he says; one could also add that he is Rose - Cross), the first part sticks to the image of the artist as a "mad dog" overflowing with energy during the recording in a public park of a concert by his quintet. In an improvisation of which he has the secret, Sonny Rollins plays his favorite theme " Don't Stop The Carnival ", a calypso in which this son of Caribbean parents excels.
During the second part of the documentary, which is mainly set in Japan, the saxophonist confesses his predilection for this country where he has already been twelve times. In Tokyo, he will present the concerto for tenor saxophone and orchestra that he composed. The Yomuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra, whose first foray into this type of music is being conducted by the Finnish Heikki Sarmento. In this unfamiliar context, Rollins does not lose his identity as a composer (Caribbean rhythms and harmonies are underlying) nor as an instrumentalist (the sax hovers above the melee in a serene lyricism). It was like completing the puzzle of a sensitivity in action.
