DJ Hairy Larry Presents luvtrst. Playing St. Thomas

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a jazz quartet from Northeast Arkansas play a Sonny Rollins song.

Sonny Rollins was a great jazz composer who also redefined jazz saxophone. He wrote the popular jazz standard, “St. Thomas”, based on the Bahamian folk song “Sponger Money”, a nursery song in the Virgin Islands, that his mother sang to him when he was a child.

Mrzí mě, že tahle pocta Sonnymu Rollinsovi přichází až s odstupem několika dní od jeho odchodu. Možná je to ale příznačné. Rollins nikdy nebyl hudebníkem rychlých soudů ani snadných závěrů. V novém článku se vracíme k jeho celoživotnímu hledání tónu, svobody a vlastního hlasu - od Harlemu přes The Bridge až k odkazu, který zůstává živý i dnes.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: This improvised #1986 #summer solo by #SonnyRollins is well-known for a couple of reasons. 🎷

First, it's a wonderful example of a full-throated improviser weaving familiar melodies, but it also took an unexpected turn when he misjudged a jump and broke his heel... 🦶

#SonnyRollins ist ja neulich von uns gegangen. Das ist traurig, allerdings war der Mann auch 95 Jahre alt. Möge ihm die Erde leicht sein.

Was in dem Kontext erstaunlich ist: Das legendäre Album "Saxophone Colossus" (höre ich regelmäßig) ist jetzt auch schon fast 70 (!) Jahre alt. Und immer noch großartig! Und an vielen Stellen im Netz verfügbar:

Für den ganzen #AISlop wird sich dagegen schon in 7 Monaten (spätestens in 7 Jahren) keine Sau mehr interessieren. Hoffe ich.

#SonnyRollins (1930-2026)

Nous n’avions pas de barrières.
...ce n’était pas ‘oh, d’accord on va jouer au swing... d’accord, maintenant on va jouer du bebop... ou maintenant on va jouer de la musique libre.' Non, je pense qu'on jouait... il y avait un amour pour le grand, le grand tableau, le jazz, la grande image, pas le jazz dans les petits styles et les différents styles.

Rollins died Monday afternoon at his Woodstock, New York, home at the age of 95 and it behooves me to gather up the tributes to his brilliance and illuminate his impact on the music world.

So amazing Sonny Rollins's rendition of What's My Name by David Saxon (and Robert Wells). It's a really great song too.

Listen to the original sung by Fran Warren, 1949: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkaz76Be1QA

Then listen to the 1958 version by Rollins:

There's this crazy thing going on with Sonny Rollins July 11, 1958 recording of Grand Street released in the streaming version of the Big Brass album on iTunes vs. the 1992 CD release where the audio is overly filtered or compressed. I can't tell exactly what was done, but they somehow overprocessed it and the difference is so pronounced. I'm glad I still have a rip of the 92 CD that sounds so much more natural. It's crazy.
