He was 95. WTAF?

He was my inspiration to learn how to play the tenor sax. RIP to a jazz legend.

O, damn. Of course you knew he himself couldn’t live forever 🕊️ 🎷 🎶 but let’s hope his music will.

#RIP Sonny Rollins

One of his early albums was called Saxophone Colossus and nothing changed in the 70 years since it was released.

RIP

If I believe in God and life after death and you do not, and if there is no God, we both lose when we die. However, if there is a God, you still lose. — Blaise Pascal

Man ... Sonny Rollins was one of the true giants of jazz. Like so many great jazz players, but more than most, there was nobody remotely like him. So many great records, and no doubt even more great performances that were heard only by the lucky people who were there. Rest in power, Sonny.

🙏🙏 maestro

One of the all time greats!

He did not play the saxophone. He played the space between the notes where the listener discovers what they have been avoiding.

The career and his contributions are just too wide and deep to easily come up with descriptive superlatives (he played alongside Clifford Brown for god’s sake) but for now I’m grateful for his humanity, his thoughtfulness, and his astonishing commitment to his art; happy he lived a long life.

RIP great man

I always play his music during dinner time. What a colossal loss.
