This episode was inspired by my reading Saxophone Colossus: The Life and Music of Sonny Rollins. Thanks to Mark Vasey for giving me this book.

For these two episodes I focus more on the music than on his life....although both are fascinating. Starting with his first recording in 1951, with Miles Davis, I play tracks from some of his 46 + classic albums. You'll also hear something from his Sonny Meets Hawk album of 1963, where he teamed up with his idol, Coleman Hawkins.

At the time of recording this episode, Sonny Rollins is still alive and retired.
