Thank you. Sonny is a giant. Still is, though I keep in my heart his classic music best, his Prestige, Blue Note, RCA and Impulse recordings. This very b&w Rollins
Thanks, Bruno: the "Saxophone Colossus" in great form and swinging hard with Niels and Allan, dropping lots of quotes from other songs, as usual. He pioneered the sax-drum-bass trio (the piano-less groups). Amazing!
Rollins hassuch huge ears! Amazing lines and such a breakaway solo from the normal cliché bop Parkerite type of solo-amazing. A true lesson on Rhythm changes.
FYI: he is playing a Beuscher tenor... really lame machanics, but a huge bell. He was playing around with it in '62-'64. If you look on the cover of Wayne Shorter's Adam's Apple lp, he is playing one, too.
You can’t fuck wit dat shit dare ! You can’t ! That’s why there’s more then 1 giant . A whole lot of players can play!!!! Bird,Dex,Trane,Sonny, the other Sonny, Brecker, Branford, J Griffin, Wayne, J Henderson, J Mac ... So Many
Miles Davis once said that talking about jazz is like dancing about architecture, I agree with this, and if someone finds a legend's playing amazing then I don't believe it is our responsibility to say no his playing wasn't actually that good.
that has very little to do with the music, but i would never suppose Sonny used to shave his head. he looks a bit like a G in this video :) not exactly your 'typical jazzcat' image.
This is how NHØP should be remembered! That sound is great!
Sonny is tough
Tough tone, Tough lines.
He even looks tough
pure man hahahaha

The changes in this song are freaking awesome

So much funk and idea after idea. Brilliant!
sonny's body is groovin with his sax. this so great.
There is so much heavy underlying harmony in what he is playing here... the chord substitutions are brilliant.
Simply amazing!! I love it.
Well I'm in total awe all over again.
Dang Sonny! That wuz deep baby! Is there any doubt that he is the Saxophone Colossus? Love you Sonny!
is nice how he incorporates St. Thomas into hes solo.
Back and forth and left and right and all the inbetween. Colossus.
Rollins hassuch huge ears! Amazing lines and such a breakaway solo from the normal cliché bop Parkerite type of solo-amazing. A true lesson on Rhythm changes.
Yeah Sonny is nearly 80 and he can still deal... I love it!
greatest jazz instrumentalist of all time
It is pure Yoj ...in this recording!! Fantastic.
Unbelievable. Pure genius. What can you say?
Excellent!!!!!
holy crap hes great
great how clean the notes are, and rhythmical.
I LOVE the interaction between Rollins and Dawson at 3:02.
A true Master !
Thanks
Heard Sonny Quoting "Blues Walk" by Cliffard Brown in his solo...awesome
Amazing!
Thank you, it's too much!!!!
Damn quoting blues walk in the middle there. Love how he always balances playfulness and aggression
Sonny is a BEAST....
Respeto total desde Honduras.
Pure Joy...
And still it swings me silly
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONNY !!!
i wish everyone in the world had youtube!
Wow, thanks for uploading!
Sensacional simplesmente fantástico
Sonny is the king!!
Nobody can play this like sonny. He killed it without having to increase bpm.
0:35 to 0:41 52nd Street Theme!
Bruno - Yeah, Sonny is the king, at least for me. Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks very much.
My favorite Sax player

I like the Blues Walk reference at 1:38
FYI: he is playing a Beuscher tenor... really lame machanics, but a huge bell. He was playing around with it in '62-'64. If you look on the cover of Wayne Shorter's Adam's Apple lp, he is playing one, too.
lots of players don't agree about its mechanics.
1965 in Denmark
I can't believe that he is playing in Norway
You can’t fuck wit dat shit dare !
You can’t ! That’s why there’s more then 1 giant . A whole lot of players can play!!!!
Bird,Dex,Trane,Sonny, the other Sonny, Brecker, Branford, J Griffin, Wayne, J Henderson, J Mac ...

eight dislikes eight reasons to use a condom......fabulous thanks bless marc
Marc MacLellan These kinds of comments have the shelf life of sour cream.
Don't think those guys have anything to put a condom on.
Dioooosss esque me corro...
@kyjah73 I'm pretty sure Oscar Peterson was actually Canadian.... but still, no relation to NHOP.
electronic sound
@BriansThing That's rhythm changes for you :D
That's how you're supposed to look when improvising ;)

Happy 88th Birthday to Sonny Rollins September 7, 2018

When was this?
todos los músicos tiene su mala noche. lo importante es lo que tienen para dar, y Sonny lo tiene. find a traductor, please. I Write in my languaje
He's from Harlem, his people came from the Islands.
Which means NHOP was 19 ..
19 year old Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen
friggin dawson plays licks that mortal drummers need to concentrate hard to play at half this tempo...
@sopwithcamels266 your opinion would seem more valid if you spelled Berklee correctly
that has very little to do with the music, but i would never suppose Sonny used to shave his head. he looks a bit like a G in this video :) not exactly your 'typical jazzcat' image.
friggin jealous
it stinks that they don't get the head in this. Oh well, Sonny rocks
Looks like he is sleeping
What are you even trying to say?
