When Sonny Rollins plays, the world listens and this performance from the 2005 Antibes Jazz Festival is no exception. He performs his original composition, Tenor Madness, first recorded with John Coltrane on May 24, 1956. Please visit the Jazz Video Guy YouTube page (http://www.youtube.com/jazzvideoguy) for more great Sonny Rollins video and Sonny's own website (http://www.sonnyrollins.com) for more about Sonny.

Rollins is da man!!! Gotta say I liked his sound better when he played a Link STM though. Too honky for my tastes now.

Just an old pro in every sense of the word! What genius!

Man. How cool is Sonny Rollins. I get chills when this fucker plays. Hot!!

It's hard to use the word 'soul' these days without it sounding cliche, but as I watch this video, I'm struggling to find any other term that accurately describes Sonny's playing. He's part of the instrument, part of the sound, and he moves to the beat. This man doesn't just play Jazz, it's inside of him and he feels the music. Purely soulful, long live Sonny Rollins!

I hope I'm that funky by the time I reach that age.
