Sonny Rollins is the most enduring tenor saxophonist of the bebop and hard bop eras, but also one of the greatest jazz saxophonists of all time. His fluid and harmonically innovative ideas and easily accessible sound have influenced generations of players. Nicknamed "Newk," he served early apprenticeships with bop masters from Bud Powell and Miles Davis to Max Roach & Clifford Brown. After 1956's classic Saxophone Colossus was released, he was heralded as jazz's top tenorist. A year later, after Way Out West and A Night at the Village Vanguard (two pioneering pianoless trio dates), he entered a class of his own -- a reputation he never relinquished. Several of his own compositions, including "Oleo" and "Doxy," are jazz standards. Rollins retired twice early on: the first time, from 1959 through 1961 (when he practiced his horn on the Williamsburg Bridge), resulted in 1962's comeback album The Bridge. Between 1969 and 1971 he went on a spiritual sojourn to Jamaica and India. After returning, he had changed his style and, to a degree, his tone, as evidenced by 1978's Don't Stop the Carnival. As one of jazz's elder statesmen in the '90s and early 21st centuries, he proved an unbreakable connection between the music's historical lineage and modernity. He won Grammys for 2000's This Is What I Do and 2005's Without a Song: The 9/11 Concert, and a Lifetime Achievement Award. Rollins stopped performing in public in 2012 due to respiratory issues.

One of the greats. First time I saw him was @ Carnegie Hall playing the Nucleus album with Tony Williams on drums. What a show. Where John developed that sheets of sound style, Sonny was more teaditional and could improvise over and over. As the great critic, Robert Palmer said about Duane Allman, “he could vamp on one chord for 15 minutes and it would never get boring.” That’s Sonny. He could change it up, over and over and never get boring. Shalom

Yeah, the melody is the king and Sonny Rollins knows that. Therefore, his improvisation is based on the melody just like Louis Armstrong.

I frequently saw Sonny (on the east coast of the US) in this period and it was always obvious when he was "on" and into it. He's clearly "on" and into it at this performance. That said, what strikes me now is how much the side players do not swing (in particular the bassist and guitar player. They are fundamentally rock players with no feeling for jazz rhythm, an area in which Sonny is the greatest of all time). Sonny often had younger players who were not up to his level in this period (70s and early to mid-80s, that is) and this is also an example of that.

Your comment is way off. Victor Bailey and Bobby Broom are “fundamentally rock players?” Victor was one of the greatest ‘jazz’ electric bassist EVER. You might have seen Sonny frequently. But you sure didn’t understand what you were seeing apparently. Sonny was notorious for calling tunes right on the spot. No rehearsal, no set list, no discussions. Just hit. Therefore, anyone on the bandstand with him had to be an exemplary musician. More importantly, they had to have been capable of playing all styles, in any given key. No feeling for jazz rhythm? That’s hilarious😂

I understand what you're saying. I listened to Sonny with Stanley Clarke and George Duke perform in Japan, and I wish I could have heard more Sonny's performances with like theirs (I also heard with Pat Metheny live, but that wasn’t quite as good a match for me - you can listen to both performances on KZfaq).

Sonny is great with anyone and any array of instruments. Bob Crenshaw his longtime bass player played upright bass until he suffered injury in an automobile accident. This made it very uncomfortable to raise his arm above his shoulder. He had to switch to bass guitar and never missed a beat.
