We woke up this morning to discover that Sonny Rollins had passed away yesterday at the age of 95. Wow, actually I didn't know he was still around. Haven't heard anything about him in a long time. When Becky and I saw him in the early 90's we thought we were being lucky to see an old classic sax player. I also saw him in 1986 at the Tralfamadore Cafe in downtown Buffalo.
He was one of my favorite tenor saxophone players. I played tenor sax as a teenager.
