Tenor Madness; Sonny Rollins Concert in Japan 1997

[@timothydaniels504]

Jazz musicians must feel like they’re in heaven when they’re in Japan. They show so much respect for these guys.

[@brahmburgers]

I saw Sonny live in a small club in Washington DC, 1971. I've always like him muchissimo, as a musician and as a person. What a guy!

[@charlesbarry6730]

This saxophone legend has outlived most of his contemporaries.

[@charlesbarry6730]

One of his signature tunes. Never gets old.

[@MollyBloom-gy1eo]

It has been a major stroke of good fortune for me that I was able to hear Sonny Rollins play. If ever someone found the right career for himself, it was Mr Rollins.

[@thabosoweto3094]

I used to go with Peter Mokonotela to his band practice in Jhb and Ray Phiri used to practice in the next room......late 80s early 90s wow those were the days of music, love, no cell phones just love and live bands the taxis in Soweto those days used to play oh heavenly music!!!!

[@charlesbarry971]

One of the legends still alive. He has outlived his contemporaries

[@brahmburgers]

In Nevada County, California, there's a lake named 'Rollins Lake.' I think of the great Sonny Rollins every time I drive in that area.

[@marcgambell2767]

Flew all the way from Bangor Maine to Boston to see Sonny Roiilns!

[@サックス三重苦ちゃんねる]

最高! 名古屋に来たとき見に行きました!

[@charlesbarry6730]

I keep returning to this video Never boring.

[@DanielKodiak]

Me too! I love the energy in the crowd and the group of legends.

[@MegaRas73]

I love how Sonny stays up front while the trombone is playing still encouraging and animated instead of slinking off to the back of the stage and ignoring the other soloists.

[@marcgambell2767]

Like Miles

[@lesgoe8908]

And it's also professional courtesy to give the stage to the soloist and not pull attention from him/her.

[@一木圭三]

その後のお二人の共演　聞きたかった〜

[@reidwhitton6248]

I love the trombone. I saw Sonny in 1996 with Clifton Anderson, Jerome Harris and Bob Cranshaw.

[@reghand3276]

Who is the piano player? I really love his way of improvising! Something in Coltrane style with beautiful outside phrases..

[@federicochan]

Be nice if you list the personnel of the band

[@EDarylDuff]

Name of the personnel. The t-bone player has a Raul DeSouza sound. I know it's not Raul...

[@stefansencerz3756]

Clifton Anderson on the bone.

[@jiyujizai]

🌱😀💙🌼

[@tomfallon5090]

Incredible! Nobody like him. He has a humanity that Monk and Coltrane gave up!

[@winnetka48]

That was dyno-mite

[@EDarylDuff]

Who's on t-bone?

[@SuperSuplex]

who's the trombonist?

[@nathanwyatt7748]

The Great Clifton Anderson on Trombone, Sonny's Nephew.

[@jdavis6650]

The slide trombonist is a much better musician than I will ever be, but what happened to him? He seemed to find his own key. Timing was great, tonality was askew. When you play outside you have to find your boundaries. My opinion-- he had a different map than the rest of the band.

[@Dang...]

Huh?! He was playing VERY inside the tonality. Not out at all. And swinging like an old pair of balls too.

[@jdavis6650]

@@Dang... Dan, just my opinion. You might have a better ear than I do. S. Trombonist nails the head. Everything else is a matter of opinion. Listen to the keys. He gets it. Not too many "can't find my way" accidental accidents and trills. He uses them only after building the base/tonal center. Upper extensions are like butter. As for Sonny, he is the man. I would aspire to carry his luggage.

[@Dang...]

@@jdavis6650 Hi J. I would carry Sonny's bags anytime too! Best wishes!

[@jdavis6650]

@@Dang... Right back at you. Keep on playing. I will too.

[@stefansencerz3756]

Clifford Anderson sounded very much "in the pocket" to me.
