Rest in Peace Maestro.

I didn’t know what to play, after some waffling settled on Sonny Rollins “Complete Prestige Recordings” disc 4

Newk with Monk start off this disc. Such powerful music.

Monk, Rollns and Bob Doran

R.I.P. Sonny.  
He really was a legendary saxophonist.

In memory of SR, I closed my radio show tonight with St. Thomas from Saxophone Colossus.
