Jun 23, 2007 - I just came back from a sonny rollins concert, and all I have to say is wow.

GATisdale Says:

Jun 30, 2007 - Let's keep Jazz going! Sonny Rollins, Bobby Watson, et al! Keep it going!

Jul 21, 2007 - Sonny's greatest value lies not in his ability as a sax player, but in his ability to teach those around him about life. He is "The Master" and could easily be a pompous individual, full of himself. Instead, he is one of the most humble, warm, and decent people I have ever met. When asked what the most important thing is that I learned from Sonny Rollins, the answer is easy: HUMILITY. God Bless Sonny Rollins!

Feb 24, 2008 - Great job Brett. Sonny Rollins has always been one of my favorite sax men. It's amazing how one could take a sabbatical when the world thought he was at the top of his playing game. thanks, Bob Gaines
