Look and especially listen! That which we call a rose ,by any other name would still smell as sweet.You squares who want to get a little attention with your squabbles should realize that it is the music which pours out this man's soul that contains the treasures.

While you’re engrossed in the Calypso grace of Sir (Theodore) Sonny, try to wrap your head around this:

In this LIVE episode of an amazing life, Sonny is at the age of 78.

In the early seventies I used to listen to Motown Soul and soon I discovered the Blues. Gradually my taste develloped and to me it's so natural to explore the rich world of music. Sonny Rollins caught my attention with a very beautiful version of

" God bless the Child " ( recommend together with the vocal version of Billie Holiday ). People that is the most pure Blues you can find in Jazz. Brilliant !

The best version of Global Warming in my opinion is on a gig he did to commemorate 9/11.

[JonThm]

The wordl has been cooling since 2005: But nuclear stooges don't tell you that! They play jazz at you.

[abzs2k]

Well and truly a living legend.

[Wilsox]

I wanna hear the trombone player

I think the more important discussion to be had about this video is that Sonny MF Rollins is a jazz god.

[rabbidystwin]

Gosh this song just makes me so happy :) It's one of those things just make you smile despite a bad day. Lovely song, although the name of it's not so great :D

[chubbypuppys]

@rabbidystwin yeah, whats up with the name... global warming? hahahahahahahaha

[migmarfin]

I think political/climatological discussion is unnecessary here, the song just happens to be called "Global Warming", that it!

[alikedotsalot]

So this is your reasoning global warming isn't happening? You need to read up on stuff more... Tempature change at the ice caps causes Ice melt. This changes the amount and temp. of water. Different temps of water in turn cause the gulf stream to change causing weird weather patterns. Aparentley all it takes is a 10 degree change in averages to plumit us into an ice age. Their is a lot of litature on this, just search it using google.

[Pekkiini]

Absolutely right, but t only takes a change of a couple degrees in averages to bring another ice age. 2-3 is enough

[jovercito]

Es bueno el viejo este che !

Y cuando hace sonar el caño como una trompeta es impresionante ...

[aniamls]

Sonny Rollins is a God of Sax!

[bazookasax]

[MusicInTheBasement]

For some reason i really dont like watching him play, something to do with how the couthpeice moves in his mouth, it creeps me out

[cmaj13]

[vova47]

The great Bob Cranshaw

[thebunniez]

[alikedotsalot]

It's bob cranshaw, he has been with Rollins for a long time, I just saw them in Vancouver. I know what Cranshaw looks like...

[Torgrunde]

Sonny Rollins is really great, my personal favorite tenor. And what a great amount of humour and joy in his playing!
