Sonny Rollins Legacy Lives On
Description
Sax legend Sonny Rollins, a jazz titan who reshaped music with his fearless improvisation and unique sound, has died at 95. Rising from Harlem as a self-taught saxophonist, he collaborated with jazz icons, explored free jazz, and even scored a Hollywood film. Over seven decades, he released 60+ albums, won Grammys, and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Coltrane and Parker — always staying true to his own voice. His legacy? A treasure trove of unreleased music, left without a clear path forward.
