Sonny Rollins, a superior saxophonist!

Sonny Rollins is a tenor saxophone giant. The big sound with the vivid soaring solos just overwhelms the listener. Needed a gigantic pick-me-up today so I listened to two fantastic Sonny Rollins numbers....'The Bridge' and 'St. Thomas.' The exuberant, passionate playing of Rollins packed a quite inventive jazz musical punch. One of my favorite thrills about Sonny Rollins is the fact he surrounds himself with clever sidemen. Superb in this regard is the bass man Bob Cranshaw. The high-impact style of Bob Cranshaw is somewhat akin to the remarkable bass work of the famed Paul Chambers. Superior bass men can help jazz leaders out so much and of course Bob Cranshaw and Paul Chambers represent good evidence of this. Enjoy the tremendous big tenor sounds of Sonny Rollins today. Have a so remarkable Saturday!
