The brilliant tenor man - Sonny Rollins celebrates his 80th birthday at Manhattan New York concert jam. The concert is sold out and everyone is expecting a great show. The performance was very enjoyable and everyone was fascinated to hear Rollins dispatch solo after solo in somewhat of a private atmosphere.
Jim wanted to "chat it up" with those involved in the celebration. Russell Malone states "Sonny plays for real, like he's at the gig. It's so interesting to hear his style in an intimate room." Roy Haynes says "He plays happy with a lot of feeling."
Sonny Rollin's is a much respected man in the Jazz world and so many people look up to him as a magnificent musician. He is happy to inspire young musicians. He states “I’m really humbled by these guys. I'm happy when the younger cats can get something from what I did."
