Thank you so much JazzVideoGuy! I want to play electric bass just like Mr. Cranshaw...

[jazzuffe]

Give nice memories to see this, but fantastic when it is with Sonny Rollins.

[huntermaui]

The drummer teaches at my high school. Its a private arts school. My brothers taking lessons from him. Lets just say he is amazing live.

[markbra]

At 80 yrs. or more this man continues to make people happy with his

music. Thats so selfless, i thinks many might not be like that.

Thank you Mr. Rollins.

Highly inspirational to see Newk playing and living so well! And Bob Cranshaw, too, who seems to keep sounding better & better as the years go by.

Great stuff Bret! I love the "behind-the-scenes" stuff. Sonny just seems to get better and better. He's the coolest guy on the planet!

Please keep putting out these great videos.

Sonny to me is the ultimate tenor titan. A true giant of jazz.

[floussin]

I sat in the front row at this concert...I was in awe of his mastery...he is one of my all time music idols. I was in tears on In A Sentimental Mood

[c4rv3r]

That's just incredible... does he ever have a rest ?

[pandadance]

Sonny is still the best!

My lifetime musical hero. First heard Sonny 45 years ago, and he was a legend then. Still sounding great!
