RIP to the Saxophone Colossus. Many years ago date night was dinner in the city and Sonny Rollins live at the Masonic Theater circa 2006. It was a regal brass workout, as he played an uninterrupted single set for 90 minutes. This set however, is shorter (but no less powerful), and in Denmark.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSivam0PymgHis sound was massive, and his expression seemingly limitless as an improviser.

Goodbye to another giant of music. Jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins passed away on Monday, at the blessed age of 95. Rolling Stone has an obituary:https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/sonny-rollins-jazz-legend-saxophone-colossus-dead-obit-1234715446/#jazz #saxophone #sonnyrollins #tonmeisterin #tonmeister

#Eulogy: #Jazz colossus #SonnyRollins dies aged 95"Rollins was one of a handful of #saxophone players who defined the instrument, a pantheon that includes Charlie #Parker, Coleman #Hawkins & John #Coltrane.. He was dubbed the "Saxophone Colossus" after te title of his seminal 1956 album, in which he brought a new power to the instrument as he came to define hard bop -- a jazz that was intense & stripped back te genre's structural confines"#RIP #mastomusic #mastojazz https://www.bangkokpost.com/life/arts-and-entertainment/3261164/jazz-colossus-sonny-rollins-dies-aged-95

We were so lucky to have been able to witness #SonnyRollins perform a few times. He was probably the greatest saxophone improvisationalist. The #SaxophoneColossus died on Monday at the ripe old age of 93. #music #jazz #saxophone
