## Resource

Sonny Rollins, jazz saxophone titan and cultural icon, has passed away at 95, leaving behind a legacy that shaped music and inspired generations. Rising from Harlem’s bebop scene, he weathered personal struggles, prison time, and decades-long creative retreats — all while collaborating with legends like Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. His signature improvisational genius earned him Grammys, a Lifetime Achievement Award, and even hip-hop samples. A man who turned silence into sound and solitude into brilliance, Rollins didn’t just play jazz — he redefined it. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
