King of the Train Jazz/Soul – Rosa King

King of the Train is a soul-jazz album by the American saxophonist and singer Rosa King. While she was a fixture of the Amsterdam jazz scene for decades, this specific release is highly regarded by audiophiles for its high-fidelity analog recordings.

It features her signature blend of soul-jazz, blues, and easy listening, highlighted by her "extremely powerful, pure" vocals and tenor sax playing. The recordings are often sourced from old analog nine-track sessions from her long residency in Holland.

Though she recorded throughout her career, this collection was notably released/reissued by STS Digital in formats like Reel-To-Reel Tape and Audio CD.
