Absolutely love Sonny. Listened to him play live in Central Park. It was an amazing evening. Feels like just a few years ago but I believe it was 15 or 16. Let’s all live it up while we still have time.

don't know enough about jazz nor Rollins, but he was like Jerry Garcia was on his Gibson SG --- not a note that couldn't fit in...., left out.

Sonny's improvisatory explorations are beyond genius....he is more spontaneous and free and yet he is also one of the few masters like Monk who never abandoned the melody during his solos. Sonny took tunes like this and especially the tune "Three Little Words" and played them more times than anyone who ever lived and yet, he displays fresh new ideas each time no matter how many times he has played that song. An absolute improvisational master and saxophone giant. (A colossal one). Of course, Alan Dawson and N.H.O.P. are both masters and are truly amazing as Sonny's accompanists. Alan is way too underrated in the music world.

I just listened to a 10h European podcast radio show on Sonny Rollins (yes, 10x 1h, covering 1951-2001 !!!). My opinion of Rollins is that it seems very overrated to me. First of all as a player, he does not seem to me better than Johnny Griffin, Stitt, Roland Kirk, Phil Woods, Lateef ... but enjoys a much more important reputation ... and unjustified in my opinion. Ok he plays well, but not better than the musicians I mentioned. In terms of composition, he did not compose anything, everyone knows that St Thomas is a Caribbean folklore already recorded by Randy Weston in 1955 under the title Fire Down There. His other compositions from the 50s ... well, Oleo, Airegin etc ... this can in no way be compared to the compositions of Trane, Bird, Monk or Shorter ... also, his playing and his sound are terribly degraded after 1966 (36 years). It seems that he was traumatized by the arrival of Ornette, Trane, Ayler ... In the 60's he tried to be more free than Ayler, more calypso / blues than Ornette, and more mystical than Trane, but he didn't. did not succeed. Then in the 70s / 80s he tried to be funky, disco ... with really ridiculous and cheesy results ... Did he want to be funkier than James Brown himself? Also, in the radio show they say that he was paid current $ 300,000 for himself to record the Nucleus album (so listen to the result !!!!), and that, for his concerts, his financial claims were unrealistic, only the big festivals could afford it. He played with the Stones but didn't want to go on tour with them because, according to Jagger himself, he wanted too much money! I mean, I'm not making anything up here. In my opinion, he should have remained what he was before, a disciple of Bird at the Tenor, and quit at the age of 40 to leave a quality job, and without trying to follow fashion. Thank you for not insulting me because I have documented myself on Rollins and I like to have constructive discussions without being attacked on my person.
