Some birthday love from the Night Lights archives:

Crossing The Bridge: The Return Of Sonny Rollins

Rollins '57: Sonny Rollins Takes The Lead

Sonny Rollins: Live In London (with quote from Jsngry!)

I've only seen Sonny in concert once--1999, at the Madame Walker Theater in Indianapolis, and it was amazing.  A true jazz giant.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Sonny Rollins.

[clifford_thornton]

Wow. 

I must say that when the CD set of the Village Gate recordings was released a couple years back, the music's place in the annals of favorites was confirmed big time. One of the greatest improvisers ever.

Suspenders matching neck strap, excellent, Sonny Rollins one of the best-kept secrets of jazz fashion, I kid you not, especially the Milestone albums, whatever the music, Sonny looked sharp, always. Casual, quirky, but  always SHARP!
