Summary
Sonny Rollins, jazz titan and saxophone legend, has died at 95, leaving behind a seismic legacy that reshaped music for seven decades. Rising from Harlem as a self-taught prodigy, he electrified bebop, pioneered free jazz, and collaborated with icons like Monk and Davis before graduating high school. His sound—raw, inventive, unapologetically authentic—earned him over 60 albums, Grammys, and standing beside Coltrane and Parker. From soundtrack stardom in Alfie to defiant artistic solitude, Rollins carved his own path, leaving behind unreleased treasures and an enduring call to stay true to your voice.
