I saw him last weekend at the Monterey Jazz Festival. Absolutely Fantastic!! He started slow then really jammed it with drummer and conga player spontaneous duets and playing from his heart and soul. Was supposed to last an hour but then he played for 10-15 minutes a couple of times. The audience thought he was finished but he kept playing. Everyone was on their feet, standing, shouting, moving their bodies, waving their arms. It was a Magic Moment, never to be repeated!!

@annorourke11 it happened to me also in New Orleans..

I'm really pissed off, that everybody is concerned only with his early works. I mean, that there is really small chance to buy his later records. Nobody seems to take care of him after "Alfie" .

See him at "Jazztopad", PL. :) I can't wait

[jhb134]

@Buszu00 Yep, you're right. We should listen-to Sonny, in his recent days. Sonny has a great heart, and still, one of the best tenor sax men, who've crossed our paths! ... He, like Coltrane, Lucky Thompson, Stan Getz and others are the ones who've extended the great tradition, of jazz's tenor sax, in or over the later years. Thanks!

Virgo Jazzman Theodore Walter "Sonny" Rollins, September 7, 1930.

I am forever impressed and amazed at Sunny's magical talent.

[jazzuffe]

Rollins is the greatest but this is undoubtedly one the best solos he have done so far, not at least because of NHØP who here is just magic, like Kenny Drew;-). Music can not be better.

[adeduction]

Sonny Rollins - one of if not the greatest jazz saxophone musicians ever. Yea and why bring a rhythm section all the way from the U.S. when there are such great musicians as NHOP , Kenny Drew (if that was really him) and Tootie Heath (if that was him too) available in Europe. Great great video. Thanks!

[lesmerles41]

Haha, at 8:13, Land of 1000 Dances!

Great Rollins, top playing.

[jhb134]

I like NHOP, but don't, quite see in what fashion he's "better" than what a Jimmy Garrison, Ron Carter or others could accomplish. Rollins is fine, and Drew and Tootie provide SOLID basis ....

[ZackPomerleau]

Love the ride.

[doublealufwaffe]

I feel that this is NHOP's best period in terms of playing solos in groups. Even though he would develop to play even faster, musically, his solos homogenized, featuring the same recycled licks as can be seen on youtube videos of his playing Oleo or Donna Lee. In this particular solo he plays with a somewhat cliched saxophone phrasing that is nonetheless a huge accomplishment on the bass and impressive to this day.

[pickinstone]

@doublealufwaffe though listening to solos is great as well as transcribing them, rhythm section players often forget that they are functioning key roles in a rhythm section. I'm talking about guitar players (like me) too fixated on playing horn lines, piano players doing the same and drummers getting too involved in poly rhythms that they forget how to make the basic groove stick (Elvin was a master of all forms, hands down). When I play with a bassist I want deep pocket lines with a purpose.

[jhb134]

@pickinstone - Interesting, about "deep pocket lines" ... and Elvin Jones was a MASTER of drum polyrhythms! I still think that "Bird"/Charlie Parker has an almost-inordinate influence on younger jazzmen, or jazzwomen ... and no wonder. Parker could play, in cogent/expressive sequences (in his solos) 16th and 32nd notes, and integrate them INTO many of his solos ... and other musicians, even-of the post-WW2 era were VERY-influenced by his advances. Just some observations, and thanks!
