Part two of my two part series on Sonny Rollins, inspired by Saxophon Colossus by Aidan Levy.
I play and introduce eight selections, ranging from 1951 up to his last studio album in 2006. It includes two of his first recordings, a recording where he played on a Thelonious Monk album, a selection from his 2001 grammy winning album, and two collaborations with non-jazz stars: Leonard Cohen and The Rolling Stones.
And the episode starts with one of his compositions that has become a jazz standard, playing with Clifford Brown, Richie Powell, George Morrow, and Max Roach.
I also throw in some of Sonny Rollins' beliefs about the 'tradition' of jazz.
Great listening, entertaining stories, and lots of interesting information.
