St. Thomas (S.Rollins)

I once heard that the father of Sonny Rollins came from Saint Thomas and therefor he gave this song this title, it's a nice uplifted song which I always enjoyed and still do. It has a nice chord structure strongly related to Gershwin Rhythm-changes and definitely a challenge to play.I have no Tabs because 90% is improvised. For my sound I use stone picks-http://www.stone-guitar-picks.com For more Info visit my Web Site: http://www.jazzguts.com

Nice, I went to see Rollins a few years back at Massey Hall in Toronto, he played an extended version of this. I think he would like your adaptation.

@AmundLauritzen Guess I'm more of a laid back person,not that I don't like higher tempos but I feel phrasing comes out nice this way,not that I'm Count Basy on the guitar :-) but sometime I think "Less is More",thanks for your great comment,Vic.
