Sonny Rollins has passed

Thanks for all the smiles.  95 is an amazing run! 
 

RIP

Saxophone Colossus is one of my favorites and was an album that helped start my jazz journey 40 years ago. RIP

One of the greatest reed players anywhere, anytime. A titan. He outlived all his friends and loved ones and was a shut-in due to pulmonary issues; his life was not easy the past 4-5 years. I felt relief when I learned he passed (for his sake, I mean). RIP Sonny Rollins!

One of the best….i could listen to him for hours on end. I agree with @earthbound on Colossus. I recently picked up the Go West 3 record vinyl box set from Contemporary Records. It includes the nicely mastered Way Out West album. Beautiful!!

And I also love his masterful work for the Stones on Waiting for a Friend.

Peace be with you Sonny!!

The last titan. R.I.P.
