If Chris Potter and Eric Alexander (who I enjoy very much) live as long as Sonny, they would only hope they could play with the drive, facility, and passion that Sonny has. Now 80 and still going.

I feel so blessed that I was exposed to this music at a young age and can still appreciate it's true wonder and majesty. Sonny Rollins is a Prince.
-
As awesome a tenor master as Coltrane was, generally I get more pure pleasure from Sonny because he's so much about honoring melody in the classic sense. The guy's tone and concept manages to be manly but sentimental and sweet in a hip, strong way. What a brilliant artist full of humanity!
Don't get me wrong, Coltrane was a saint and a fucking genius, but while he tended to wail and shriek (righteously), Sonny just tells and sings his gorgeous soulful stories. 2 inspiring giants Peace

Mr Music himself. I feel so privileged to have seen him play in Boston.

Sonny never tried to make himself commercial. It probably cost him a great deal, but to us it is a rare gift. He is truly one of the great sax players and song writers.
-
No, he is not a beginner! As you and me know!
He's played the horn since he was 13 or some!
Let's say I "try" to play sax and we all "try" to play sax, that'll make me sleep better!
He's to me top 3, 4!

TRUE!

if you said that to Chris Potter and Eric Alexander, they would look at you like you should be placed in a mental institution.
