Advantages: Possibly the best tenor saxophonist ever - without a doubt the best still alive! Disadvantages: None - if you want to see him live, you should try to soon - he's getting on a bit now - 73 yrs old now - still as good as ever though!
with many jazz greats, having already done so with Babs Gonzalez, J.J. Johnson, Bud Powell and Miles Davis before he turned twenty, and also benefitting from having Thelonius Monk as a mentor.
Later in his life, during the mid-sixties, Rollins stopped playing in public and tried to get into religion, and especially eastern religions, spending time in Japan and India, and also spending a lot of time in a monastry. In the 70's however, Sonny resurfaced again and returned to recording and playing again, making his next recording in 1972, and is still going strong.
Recently, I had the chance to see SonnyRollins playing in a rare appearance at the Barbican in London, and I must say that he was absolutely fantastic. Although he may now look slightly older, his playing is still as good as when he was younger and on those classic recordings ...

I think it?s fair to say that Rudi must have been one of the unluckiest bands ever. This is the only album available which signposts the band that time forgot?
Let me start off by saying that his album is truly remarkable, definitely one of the best in my collection.

Its true to say that I could fill up a few pages about the history of the ill-fated band, but that would be going off topic as this is a review of the album, but I am going to tell you a little bit about the band as I feel it will give you a better insight into this album, and exactly why it is so essential.
Away from contrary believe, Stiff Little Fingers weren?t the only, nor the first, punk band from Northern Ireland ...
Advantages: Sublime music and musicianship Disadvantages: None
This is the original score to the 60s film Alfie, composed and played by SonnyRollins, one of the greatest tenor sax players. I watched this film several times before really appreciating the score, being so intent on the story and film locations, and later checked yes, it was Rollins playing, and he also wrote it.
WHO IS SONNYROLLINS?
If you like jazz you don't need me to provide a biog. Sonny [Theodore Walter] Rollins was born in 1930 in New York, arguably one of the best jazz tenor saxophonists of all time. He was already playing with one of the greats, Thelonious Monk before he was 20, and later performed and recorded with John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Art Blakey. In 1955 he joined the Clifford Brown / Max Roach quintet. He was known for his improvisations, sometimes highly imaginative takes on relatively moribund ...
