@efacsen81 Yes actually.. GTA IV is a video game for the Xboxs 360, PS3, and PC. The game takes place in a city.. and in cities, there are cars.. and in cars, there are radios. One of the fictional radio stations in the game is JNR.. (Jazz Nation Radio) and one of the songs it plays is St.Thomas Saxophone Colossus.. and not only that.. it plays other songs too that are jazz like Duke Ellington and others I cant think off the top of my head but yea, hope that answered your question.
when sonny played the vanguard in 1975 i met him in the club and offered him a ride home---i was young and brash and had enough nerve to ask him if i could bring my miny tape recorder and tape a set--he graciously said yes but added that he would need a copy for obvious reasons---next night i sat in front row and got an hour set---what a gentleman
Who counld'nt enjoy this tune its so cool, although having been lucky enough to have seen Mr Rollins in concert this just give's the listener a taster of what a genius he is.
I hear two times of Japanese concerts of Mr.Rollins, too. I felt a big feeling of happiness. Because Mr.Rollins of the radio taught jazz, to me of the boy. It is this tune so.

Is "GTA IV" a game? Was "ST-THOMAS" played by the game?
I am delighted if I hear "ST-THOMAS" in the middle of a game. Thank you for comment.
