Work Time is a 1956 album by jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins, recorded for the Prestige label, featuring performances by Rollins with Ray Bryant, George Morrow, and Max Roach.[1]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "The enjoyable outing may not be essential, but it is a strong effort."[2]

Author and musician Peter Niklas Wilson called the album "one of Rollins's most brilliant sessions. In the opinion of many of the saxophone player's fans it is the equal of the epochal Saxophone Colossus recordings."[3]
