#JazzLegend #SonnyRollins dies aged 95
by Toby Mann, May 26, 2026
"Legendary Jazz musician Sonny Rollins, who was known as the '#SaxophoneColossus', has died aged 95.
"He died at his home in Woodstock, New York, on Monday afternoon according to a statement from his publicist, who called him 'one of the most honored and influential figures in American music'.
"Rollins had a prolific career that began in the late 1940s. He worked with artists including Miles Davis, Charlie Parker and John Coltrane and released more than 60 albums as a band leader. He won two Grammys before respiratory illness forced him to retire in 2014.
"The cause of his death has not been announced."

I’m #NowSpinning #SonnyRollins & The Contemporary Leaders from #Craft’s recent #GoWest boxset - an all analogue retrospective of the classic #WayOutWest.
This is new to me, but is as melodic & swings nearly as hard as its sister album. Rollins is on top form & the addition of #BarneyKessel on guitar distinguishes it from his other albums in my collection.
In terms of SQ, this is another #BernieGrundman cut & it matches Way Out West.
