Sonny Rollins
Tenor Sax Solo on
You Do Something to Me

Listen to Solo

Sonny Rollins begins his solo acappella in the middle of the form leading up to a fermata. It almost sounds like two recorded takes were spliced together. Then the band comes back in and joins him for the last 8 bars of the form in tempo.
Sonny Rollins was 31 to 32 years old at the time.
