Hardbopjazz Posted September 9, 2025 Posted September 9, 2025 Long live the Saxophone Colossus. Here is Sonny performing at the Keystone Korner in 1972. How beautiful he plays My One And Only Love. He makes his horn sing. https://mega.nz/folder/PxIgHQbI#JFQJ_t6cColSxPCcD9huvA Quote

jazzbo Posted September 9, 2025 Posted September 9, 2025 (edited) I saw him when he was around 70. Still a force of nature! Edited September 9, 2025 by jazzbo Quote
optatio Posted September 9, 2025 Posted September 9, 2025 Saw him in Hamburg in the main hall of the Laeiszhalle on November 28, 2008 - a great event! Line-up: Sonny Rollins (ts), Clifton Anderson (tb), Bobby Broom (g), Bob Cranshaw (b, voc), Kimati Dinizulu (perc), Kobie Watkins (dr) Quote

Sonny Rollins supposedly lives in or near Woodstock, NY, less than an hour from me. But he is extremely private, and I don't know anyone who's seen him around the town.
