Sonny Rollins - Sais

[@bonganimdakane3123]

Just bought this LP today, it's been an elusive unicorn for me in South Africa for years, been searching for over a decade 😊😊

Sonny was on FIRE!🔥 I first heard the great Sonny Rollins as a student at Illinois State University in 1973.

It was written by James Mtume, not Sonny Rollins.

Here we have a example where Sonny seemed to know very well in what range of the soprano he had to stay to get out the maximum of expression on a horn wich is not basically his main voyce! This era some people think was not one of his highest ligthening but does this always have to be, especially in such a long lastening career as Sonny had? In stead here we find a Sonny maybe in his truly most experimental state of musical beeing (and this NOT in the sixties!) - an atribute basically so important in almost any kind of music (most of time absent only in styles where moneymaking is the highest task . . .): this early comeback after his most contemplative sabatical!

I love Sonny's soprano work here. Very emotive and distinctive in sound. Who could ask for more!

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.

Rollins is not better than Useless Lateef? Oh, please...

[@rinahall]

@@HP_____ yep man

[@bossman6729]

It’s not a competition. Every player you name is a master of their instrument but they all have a different sound that is identifiable. It’s about interpretation and style.
