About St. Thomas

"St. Thomas" is among the most recognizable instrumentals in the repertoire of American jazz tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins. Although Rollins is commonly credited as its composer, the tune is based on the traditional Bahamian folk song "Sponger Money" "Sponger Money" evolved into a nursery song in the Virgin Islands, which Rollins' mother sang to him when he was a child. Rollins noted that the tune bore a resemblance to a Danish folk song called "Det var en lørdag aften", which he believed to be the origin of "Sponger Money".
