As of this writing, Sonny is still living amongst us at 93 years old. No longer playing due to pulmonary fibrosis in the lung, but still living and granting interviews here and there. One of the greatest jazz musicians to ever walk the earth.
Lol the intro is so funny. For those who don't know swedish, he says something like "his music can be described as hardcore, stressful, angry and ruthless" 😂
saw sonny live 2 times. one in damrosh park in lincoln ctr and the other in carnegie hall. the best live shows that i ever saw. sonny will always live thru his music.
Sonny Rollins--the towering Colossus of Jazz-- took some breaks from performing to perfect his craft (in his own eyes and ears), and watching this video from 1959, it strikes me that bassist Henry Grimes dropped out of the jazz world for over 30 years, resurfacing in 2002 to go on making more amazing music. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Grimes
@@benoitz5976 To be brief, no I don't know why Sonny would be moving his right hand one step down while he's playing. But I can see him moving his right hand down to press the lower right hand side key, with the side of his right hand, such as at 9:25, at 11:15 he appears to be resting his right hand.
He musta kept a King in stash, though this one's ca +/- 56 or later. He was playing a King to start with, but I believe you see him in the trio NY 57 playing a Selmer.
@@benoitz5976 The right hand thumbhook on the Super 20 is too small, making it uncomfortable on the right wrist to play for long periods. Martins have this same problem. I agree the Super 20 sounds great and that is probably why Sonny was dealing with the discomfort to play it. But the Mark VI is much more comfortable.
Amazing trio! Sonny w/ Henry Grimes - bass, Joe Harris - drums It Don't Mean A Thing if it Ain't Got That Swing Paul's Pal 8:02 Love Letters 14:56 Bill Evans trio '64 My Foolish Heart 20:58
en rättelse jag skulle tro att det är Elvin Jones trumset, han spelade med John Coltrane under åren 1961-62 och var i Stockholm 62 i en bejublad konnser med John Coltrane!

ha ha ha ha ha just crushing it.
Long life Jazz Maestro, Sonny Rollins. God Bless you @94.
Henry Grimes!
At 19:31 he quotes Scheherazade, my mind is blown how far into the future Sonny has always lived

Commanding, passionate and brilliantly executed. The great Sonny Rollins.
1930 -
Sonny once states that Charlie Parker IS the God of the saxophone 🎷
What a compliment from an Organic Jazz genius!
Its great to have this document of him stretching out live.

What an humble man
???
This aging ( 75 yrs old ) drummer thanks you for posting this recording!🎼🥁
The sax and drum trades at the end of ‘Don’t mean a Thing’ are ridiculously out of this world
The King s20 Silver Sonic with a DR Link was one of Sonny's best sounding setups, this is a terrific clip.
Do you know why he's moving his right hand one step down sometimes when he's playing ?????????

Beleive at one time he playeda a Selmer MK6

Grande Sonny Rollins. Simplesmente impressionante!!
Härligt! ( = Wonderful! )
Sonny Rollins had a big influence on Bernt Rosengren who sadly left us recently.
An absolute gem of a video and Sonny is an absolute genius of improvisation.
Vore bra om du kunde uppge källorna till materialet.
This is awesome
Such a humble giant of jazz. Long live Sonny Rollins!
in fact he was absolutely no humble in 1959, and after also!
Great recording! Thanks for the Upload Kjell :-) Unfortunately without audience.
Amazing, been looking for this recording for years. Thank you very much.
Wow, thanks for posting this Kjell!
Wow. This is brilliant footage.
Sonny almost couldn’t stand the funny sound of this language 😂
Thanks for sharing this masterpiece!
... ¡¡¡ GRACIAS POR LA FELICIDAD !!! ...

Nej der ät Egil Johansens set. Han spelade på Nalen så setet fanns redan där inspelningen är gjord. Tror inte Elvin hade EJ på bastrumman.
@@kjellhagglund1224 okej du har rätt! Elvin Jones uppträde nog aldrig på Nalen vid den tidpunkten!
