Music reviews of Ken Burns JAZZ Collection: Sonny Rollins
Music Review: 10 Stars
Rating: 5 Stars
First of all, to whoever stated that Coltrane is better - you must not know anything about music to have stated that. You can say that you like Coltrane better, but Rollins is definitely a virtuoso as well. Coltrane was good, and definitely pushed the harmonic level of jazz music. However, it is impossible to deny the vast influence that Rollins had on the way that jazz musicians approach lines, phrase lines, and compose tunes. Coltrane definitely played with impressive so-called "Sheets of Sound" but Rollins is also a very impressive virtuosic player as well. It saddens me to think that the public "music fans" still tend to judge the skills of an improviser by how fast and loud they can play. I could understand if you said that you personally liked Coltrane more, because that would make sense... many people are like this. I can respect that. But to offer no reasons to people searching on Amazon as to why you feel Coltrane is a better player, is an extremely poor example of a review.
If I could give this album 10 stars, I most certainly would. If anyone was to study the way that Rollins approached his music (both original and standard tunes) they would know that Rollins is an extremly good player. He changed the jazz world forever, as well as the improvisational world!
