"I'm not supposed to be playing, the music is supposed to be playing me. I'm just supposed to be standing there with the horn, moving my fingers. The music is supposed to be coming through me; that's when it's really happening."
What are some of your many favorite Sonny Rollins tracks or moments?

WKCR presents the “Sonny Rollins Birthday Broadcast” Thursday Sept. 7 for 24 hours.
The “saxophone colossus”, one of the all-time jazz greats, from the Williamsburg Bridge and beyond.
Rollins is not one the traditional annual, honorees on WKCR’s marathon schedule, but he is often requested by our listeners. We will be doing the broadcast this year, while Sonny is still with us, as he will be celebrating his 93rd birthday."

#GreatAlbums1950s - #SonnyRollins – Saxophone Colossus (1957). Tireless craftsman of the tenor sax, Sonny made his mark with this set of calypso, hard bop and blues pieces unified by the master’s precise soloing and sublime use of space. “St. Thomas” gets Caribbean funky, before “You Don’t Know What Love Is” waxes romantic and Weill’s “Moritat” gets Mack’s knife a-swinging. But the finest moment is “Blue 7,” a stately blues exploration of which even Muddy Waters would be proud.

Sonny Rollins - On Impulse!
It's easy enough to read about this album, since it's quite well known, and very enjoyable.
But this mastering & pressing - which is part of the Acoustic Sounds Impulse series - is really fantastic, and the recording itself reflects a lot of the advances that had been made since the 50s, and of course it's Rudy van Gelder, because who else.

I’m #NowSpinning #SonnyRollins & The Contemporary Leaders from #Craft’s recent #GoWest boxset - an all analogue retrospective of the classic #WayOutWest.
This is new to me, but is as melodic & swings nearly as hard as its sister album. Rollins is on top form & the addition of #BarneyKessel on guitar distinguishes it from his other albums in my collection.
In terms of SQ, this is another #BernieGrundman cut & it matches Way Out West.

Taking a short break from Glastonbury & #GoWest, the latest commemorative boxset from #Craft has arrived. & so I’m #NowSpinning #WayOutWest by #SonnyRollins.
For me, this is a top ten #jazz album: immaculate musicianship, toe-tappingly catchy compositions, & so much fun.
This is a AAA cut by #BernieGrundman & it easily beats my ‘80s OJC. Whisper-quiet vinyl, detailed, with tons of dynamics. I’ll listen to the other disks over the next few days.
