Episode Details

Legendary jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins, a bebop titan and improvisational genius who shaped music for seven decades, has died at 95. Rising from Harlem as a self-taught prodigy, he defied norms, embraced free jazz, and released over 60 albums — earning Grammys and starring in “Alfie.” Known for staying true to his artistic soul, he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Coltrane and Parker. Though facing physical decline, his legacy — and a trove of unreleased recordings — lives on.
