man I love Sonny Rollins, but Rashaan cut him REAL hard haha

[grossijohn]

Sonny is great...and then you hear Rahsaan...I seen him play after his stroke...one hand and he was better than most with both hands...he was a gift from God man.

@Superstud079 I don't know Rashaan very well, but on this video, Sonny Rollins is way better than him (actually he's kinda the only one playing a solo so we can't really judge)

[TripleOctaveMusic]

Nice but how many things is he wearing

But it was the CANNONBALL Adderley Quintet that made Nat's amazing compositions famous.
