My favourite is when Sonny described him and Coltrane used to phone each other. One would play an idea then the other would call back with a musical response 🎼🎷

The Incomparable Sonny Rollins

The "speaker and chairman "between the saxophone players. A great musician and saxophone player!

on and off, in and out at will ... probably the greatest improviser ever.

OMG when he played the Armadillo World Headquarters and we were talking after the show backstage I was so intranse with him. He was so impressed that I had fallen so far for his music 🎶🎷 I have met many great jazz musicians at the Armadillo meeting, talking with him is on the top of my list.

Great ballad and terrific Rollins....!!!!! Thanks

GREAT SONNY !!!!

The master of melody! Love Sonny’s balance of improvisation and storytelling.

Excellent!

Love this song.

Великий мастер.

The way of his playing.. It's just unattainable

There's saxophone players, and then there's Sonny Rollins. He is the saxophone in my opinion, no sense in listening to anybody else.

尊敬してます!

Splendido improvvisatore ed essere umano, ascoltato al Pescara Jazz Festival e di cui conservo gelosamente gli autografi, rilasciati su lp e cd 🍀🎶🎷😃

Wow

ソニーにはやられっぱなしアドリブソロが凄すぎ。

Great interlude!

🧡🧡🧡

Ottima anche la band. Basso magnifico

ひたすらカッコいいね🍀オスカー渋谷

초반 부의 끈적끈적 하면서도 감미로운 부분이 특히 일품. 후반부의 애드립 부분은 정말 놀랍지만, 역시 애드립 전이 개인적으로 더 좋다. 예쁘기만 한 음색이 아닌 거친 듯하면서도 굉장히 리드미컬한 소리가 너무 좋다.

anyone have the rest off this magic concert in the festival de jazz de Montréal?

💓🎷💓🎷💓🎷💓🎷 👏🏽🥂👏🏽🥂👏🏽🥂👏🏽🥂

Who got all the quotes? He was quoting four or five songs in his solo. I think one was "do not stop the carnival" He is a very great live performer, it is good to him killing a ballad. He played the bass line to end his solo.

there has been another song from this concert on yt that I loved and watched many times - "don´t stop the carnival" but it seems to be gone :(Anybody know´s where I could possibly find it ?

🙂👍🏻

hello j llm, do you by chance also have the video to "don´t stop the carnival" from the same concert? I´ve been looking for it for 2 years now since it has been removed from yt because I can´t get it out of my head...

I never known axioms

In what year is this ?!

What a great pot-pouri of "Rollinigans"!

Not that it matters!... but who's in the band?

Who is the guitarist?

🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🪄✨🪂

이 공연 드럼 이 누구인가요

이공연 드럼솔로 좀 밧으면

..

1. Is that Jack DeJohnette on drums? 2. Why do I see two guitarists on stage? I'm confused.

Il jazz è un modo caratteristico di pronunciare le note indipendentemente dal loro contenuto. Tattatta …!!!

Is he drunk..? :-o

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.

Sonny without a doubt one of the best ever. But, his sound here is just abrasive and trashy. Not classic Sonny

вы все гоните это хрень полная одна из самых красивых баллад, и такой похабный мерзкий кавер
