R.I.P. Sonny Rollins. One of the true greats of Jazz with a career spanning 7 decades. Just celebrated my 40th year at the University of Minnesota but that's peanuts compared to Sonny.
Thanks for posting this; I had not yet seen the news. One of the all-time greats. I have his biography which is a pretty amazing story. He was one of the last ties to that time when jazz changed so profoundly.
He was amazing, to my mind particularly the live trio recordings--just Sonny, bass and drums. Incredible stuff.
