R.I.P. Sonny Rollins (1930-2026)

I woke this morning to the sad news that the great tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins passed away yesterday at the age of 95. He was one of the most influential and creative musicians of his time and there are many justifiably glowing obituaries of him. I can’t add much that hasn’t already been said by them, other than say that I consider myself deeply privileged to have been able see and hear Sonny Rollins play live, not once but twice, during the 1980s. The first was in the relatively intimate surroundings of Ronnie Scott’s club in London and the second in the Royal Festival Hall. On both occasions he was fantastic. Sonny Rollins was one of those musicians who made me think when I watched him that if you took the instrument out of his mouth it would somehow carry on playing on its own. At Ronnie Scott’s club he opened one set by starting to play in the band room, walking out through the audience onto the stage still playing and then about an hour later walked off back the way he came, still playing. The tune was Thelonious Monk’s 52nd Street Theme. He ended his set at the Festival Hall with an unstoppable version of Don’t Stop The Carnival that had everyone leaping about in the aisles. There was so much music in him it just had to come out. Was he playing the music or was it playing him?

Sonny Rollins began playing professionally when he was a teenager in the late 1940s but came to the attention of the jazz world in earnest when he teamed up with Miles Davis for a 1954 recording session that led to a record called Miles Davis with Sonny Rollins. (Coincidentally, today would have been Miles Davis’s 100th birthday). That record, originally issued on a 10″ LP, showcased Rollins’s big muscular sound on tenor sax, but also consisted of four tracks, three of which were compositions by Sonny Rollins, including a now-standard Oleo. That record was really Sonny’s breakthrough and he went on to record dozens of superb albums both as leader: A Night at the Village Vanguard, Saxophone Colossus, Newk’s Time, and Way Out West, to name just four. He also made many records as a side man, including the must-have album, Brilliant Corners with Thelonious Monk.

Having established himself as a major artist, Rollins suddenly took a three-year break from playing between 1959 to 1961 to develop his technique. Lacking space to practice in his apartment, he did so every day on the Williamsburg Bridge. When he returned to a recording studio in early 1962, the result was another classic album, The Bridge.

In all he made over 60 albums, of which I have about a dozen. I’ll be listening to them a lot over the next few days and may post a few further items about them in due course.One thing I always liked about Sonny Rollins was his tendency to take a shine to very unexpected tunes and turn them into something magical. Off the top of my head I can think of The Surrey with the Fringe on Top, How are Things in Glocca Morra? and I’m an Old Cowhand.

It’s impossible to pick a single track than can do justice to Sonny Rollins so I’m just going to include a couple here. The first is the very first track I ever heard by him, on a Blue Note sampler album. It’s a Miles Davis tune called Tune Up and it’s from the 1957 Blue Note album Newk’s Time with Wynton Kelly (piano), Doug Watkins (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums). Perhaps listening to the energy and invention of his playing, delivered with that characteristically leathery tone then you’ will understand why I fell instantly in love with his music and wanted to hear more.

The second is one of my favourite records of all time. It’s called Hold’ Em Joe and it was recorded in 1965 with Ray Bryant (piano), Walter Booker (bass) and the fabulous Mickey Roker on drums:

As a sad footnote on this sad occasion, the passing of Sonny Rollins means that not one of the great musicians in this famous photograph A Great Day in Harlem, taken on August 12th 1958, is still with us:

Rest in Peace Sonny Rollins (1930-1954), Saxophone Colossus indeed.

"A Matter of Trust" is a song by #BillyJoel from his 1986 album #TheBridge. It was released as the album's second single and became a top ten hit. The song gained major traction in the #SovietUnion as part of a state-sponsored television promotion of Joel's songs in preparation for his 1987 USSR concerts, recorded on #Kohuept. The song differs from most Joel songs in that it is based on electric guitar rather than piano, which gives it a rock edge.

I recently started watching the first season of #TheBridge (Bron/Broen) and realised that in many ways I am just like Saga Norén, especially when I am working.

Then I started wondering if this character is so well played or if she is just a stereotypical example of a person on the #autism spectrum. What do you think?

The Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is the most photographed bridge in the world. It's easy to understand why. The bridge itself is a beautiful piece of architectural art work and the setting is incredible.
The span reaches across the white capped waves of the San Francisco Bay below over to Marin County.
On this day the sky is blue but it's deceptively cold for San Francisco.

Just finished The Bridge. Recommended.

The Bridge is a fine diversion, but is mostly unmemorable and seldom very satisfying to solve.

That's an excellent observation. @Moosical and I really enjoy foreign language crime dramas, and we absolutely cannot do dubbed audio, so it has to be subtitles. Subtitles can actually be quite fatiguing when you're binge-watching multiple episodes from multiple seasons (yes, I'm looking at you #TheBridge #Bron #Broen) but it also means we have to be fully invested in what we're watching. No checking social media whilst watching #Fordelbrysen or #AstridEtRaphaelle! 👁️👁️

The Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is the most photographed bridge in the world. It's easy to understand why. The bridge itself is a beautiful piece of architectural art work and the setting is incredible.
One of the reasons I am fascinated with the bridge is that you can visit it over and over and it never seems to have the same appearance.

Have introduced my love to S01 of The Bridge, which she is watching for the first time. Enough time has passed since I last watched it for me to not quite remember who's who and what's coming next, which I think is what she was hoping for. Oh well, we'll find out in seven episode's time 😊

Just finished watching the original Swedish version of The Bridge for the ?th time. Amazingly powerful performances. Until the last two episodes, I didn't quite remember that I was going to be weeping as it came to a conclusion. #TheBridge #Bron #Broen

It's fun trying to spot people in #Forbrydelsen that I recognize from #TheBridge. According to IMDB there are 104 people who were in both shows, which is quite astonishing. I've only spotted a handful of them myself.

Re- #Watching #TheBridge (now on Stan in Australia)

#ScandiNoir at it’s best. In the first 2 seasons Swedish detective Saga Noren (Sofia Helin) is teamed with Danish detective Martin Rohde (Kim Bodnia).
I now recognise Bodnia from his role as Konstantin in #KillingEve, and I’m delighted to be reminded many moments are deeply moving. Equally impressive is that The Bridge is not the usual detective story: the search for motives behind crimes depicted highlights important issues like climate change.
(e.g. I almost missed a throw-away reference to the dumping of toxic waste in West Africa. Which is to say the producers have a world-view I find refreshing.)

#TheBridge 2011 Scandi version has been remade in several languages; as The Tunnel (UK); The Bridge (Mexico); The Bridge (Estonia/ Russia); The Bridge (Malaysia/ Singapore); Der Pass (Germany/ Austria); Gefyra (Greece/ Turkey).

———-
The interview linked below has a great comment from Sofia Helin, (which has helped me understand why I might be loathe to get involved in personal discussions of some public figures.) The Murdochs of this world are as much a symptom as a cause, and I need hope we can fix systems in spite of them.

… But there is no naming of names in Sweden. It’s all about “structures” that have to be changed, not about demonising individuals like Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey. “Creating a monster absolves us of responsibility,” says Helin.

My husband & I have just finished watching the first series of #MrSelfridge, an older #BritishDrama from a few years ago. It has a bit of a different feel to it as it's set in a department store rather than a stately home, police station, courtroom or a quiet village. We're alternating it with series 2 of #TheBridge, a seminal Swedish/Danish dark #CrimeDrama. (The streaming service that carries it locally only allow 8 episodes per month (it has 10 episodes) so we have to watch at the end of one month & start of another.)

@InclusiveLucie I cannot believe the #scandinoir hashtag wasn't a thing until your poll! This needs fixing! What is your all-time favourite? These are some of the best in my humble opinion #TheBridge (#Broen )#Greyzone #TheChestnutMan #TheKilling (#Forbrydelsen)#MidnightSun (#Midnattssol)#NordicNoir
