Peter Adamson’s Reviews > Saxophone Colossus: The Life and Music of Sonny Rollins > Status Update

My Dad photographed Sonny during his teens when he snuck into NY jazz clubs I'm told..A lifelong fan of jazz, Sonny's in the same league as Coltrane, Miles and numerous others

Very cool! Jazz was one genre that I never really took to, but Sonny (and John Coltrane) are geniuses. Sonny lived quite a life and only just died this year at 96!

Thanks..wasn't aware he lived that long..I have some one-of-a-kind photos of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn my father shot..I licensed one to the Smithsonian Black History exhibit too :)
