St. Thomas Backing Track Jazz - Here the improviser will be able to apply his knowledge on this theme that was part of Sonny Rollins' repertoire.

Although Sonny Rollins is credited as a songwriter for this song because it became very popular with the release of his fantastic album "Saxophone Colossus", it is important to note that this melody is based on the traditional Bahamas folk song "Sponger Money" known in the voice of George Symonette and the traditional English song "The Lincolnshire Poacher".

This jazz standard has been brilliantly performed by Herbie Mann, Maynard Ferguson, Jimmy Smith, Eric Marienthal, Jim Hall, Pee Wee Ellis, Michel Petrucciani, Barney Kessel and many others.

In this backing track, the rhythm is a fast jazz samba that accentuates the Latin characteristics of this piece. The instruments present in this accompaniment are: Drums, Piano and Double Bass. The tempo is at 200bpm.
