sonny what a tone rollins

Dizzy is boss; Rollins is unique - and cool! The rhythmic section is Organically jazzy. Rollins is master of the exchanges; he gives us gourmets of "Organic Real Jazz" excellence.

I performed with Dizzy and Mickey Roker in 1979 at Detroit's Orchestra Hall. Of course Hank Jones is from nearby Pontiac.

Thanks for posting this! Great Philly Drummer Mr. Mickey Roker- R.I.P......man, the music as always lives on.

Everyone here is great

Rufus my old friend," you've come a long ways baby".

Hells yeah! This IS jazz.

Originally from 'Duets', recorded by Dizzy and Sonny, Dec. 11, 1957. Sonny Rollins starts the solos with several choruses, alone. This reminds me of Sonny's choruses of stop time on 'I Know That You Know' from the companion album 'Sonny Side Up', recorded December 19, 1957.

Thank you for sharing this fantastic music.

Maestro's of the Art, thank you All 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

This performance is from Dizzy's 70th birthday concert at Wolf Trap, broadcast by PBS.

Confucius say what is this enigmatic Chinese bebop tune titled please?

I just listened to a 10h European podcast radio show on Sonny Rollins (yes, 10x 1h, covering 1951-2001 !!!). My opinion of Rollins is that it seems very overrated to me. First of all as a player, he does not seem to me better than Johnny Griffin, Stitt, Roland Kirk, Phil Woods, Lateef ... but enjoys a much more important reputation ... and unjustified in my opinion. Ok he plays well, but not better than the musicians I mentioned. In terms of composition, he did not compose anything, everyone knows that St Thomas is a Caribbean folklore already recorded by Randy Weston in 1955 under the title Fire Down There. His other compositions from the 50s ... well, Oleo, Airegin etc ... this can in no way be compared to the compositions of Trane, Bird, Monk or Shorter ... also, his playing and his sound are terribly degraded after 1966 (36 years). It seems that he was traumatized by the arrival of Ornette, Trane, Ayler ... In the 60's he tried to be more free than Ayler, more calypso / blues than Ornette, and more mystical than Trane, but he didn't. did not succeed. Then in the 70s / 80s he tried to be funky, disco ... with really ridiculous and cheesy results ... Did he want to be funkier than James Brown himself? Also, in the radio show they say that he was paid current $ 300,000 for himself to record the Nucleus album (so listen to the result !!!!), and that, for his concerts, his financial claims were unrealistic, only the big festivals could afford it. He played with the Stones but didn't want to go on tour with them because, according to Jagger himself, he wanted too much money! I mean, I'm not making anything up here. In my opinion, he should have remained what he was before, a disciple of Bird at the Tenor, and quit at the age of 40 to leave a quality job, and without trying to follow fashion. Thank you for not insulting me because I have documented myself on Rollins and I like to have constructive discussions without being attacked on my person.

Did Sonny step on your toes...or did he kick you out of his group, because all you seem to know about jazz is what either someone equally unhip told you....or both of your ears are 100% made out of tin?

If you don't want to be insulted don't ask for it. It's obvious that you have a personal grudge of some sort towards Rollins - enough to motivate you to troll him on KZread videos with totally biased and personal attacks. You're comments are not worthy of a dignified discussion but only worthy of personal attack similar to the ones you have made. Have a nice day thanks for your comments
