Music reviews of Ken Burns JAZZ Collection: Sonny Rollins
Music Review: COOOL COMP DADDIO!
Rating: 5 Stars
Sonny Rollins.....HEY....COOL.....OKAY.... Sonny Rollins is probably my favorite saxophonist, maybe even better than John Coltrane...maybe...maybe not, but they are in the same league as each other. But when it comes to coolest sax player of all time, no Bird is not the coolest, although without Bird there would be no Sonny, Sonny Rollins is the coolest sax player ever and he even screwed around with smack back in the 1950's so you know he was a cool daddio.
This compilation has all of Sonny's best stuff. I really like the starting track with Miles. If there is a question of who was Miles' best saxophonist, I say Sonny!!
SONNY ROLLINS IS THE COOLEST CAT AROUND AND HE'S STILL ALIVE!
HOORAY! MAYBE JAZZ IS SOMEWHAT STILL ALIVE!
Description of Ken Burns JAZZ Collection: Sonny Rollins
Among the most creative voices to emerge from the 1950s hard-bop movement, Sonny Rollins has long been one of the most commanding soloists in jazz, a masterful tenor saxophonist whose big sound can encompass ballad warmth and blazing runs. This compilation concentrates on Rollins's most creative years, from 1954 to 1966, and includes some of his best-known compositions, tunes like "Oleo" (played here with Miles Davis's band) and "St. Thomas," which are now standards in the jazz repertoire. His playing has often used thematic improvisation, varying and extending a tune's original melody with remarkable rhythmic creativity to unfurl long solos of brilliant structural coherence, heard here in a version of his "Sonnymoon for Two." Rollins has also demonstrated an unusual sense of humor, sometimes using unlikely tunes--like "I'm an Old Cowhand"--as a basis for his solos. His relationship to the senior tenor master, Coleman Hawkins, takes two forms here, in the unaccompanied version of "Body and Soul" and in 1963's "All the Things You Are," with Hawkins joining Rollins at his most experimental. --Stuart BroomerGeneral CDs
