“A forward-looking artist whose daily quest for self-improvement manifested on that bridge is surely an inspiration for every New Yorker. This renaming concept does not represent a bridge too far.” #SonnyRollinsBridge nydailynews.com/2024/04/16/rea…
“Time’s up to rename the Williamsburg Bridge. This year marks the centennial of up until when it was the longest suspension span in the world. Who better, exactly 100 years later, than the 1983 NEA jazz master Sonny Rollins to grace his name thereon during this benchmark year?”

“Rollins once observed: “Forgive everyone everything” — but not the New York City Council if it doesn’t acknowledge a genius New Yorker who galvanizes musicians worldwide to believe New York is the jazz capital of the universe.” #SonnyRollinsBridge nydailynews.com/2024/04/16/rea…

#SonnyRollins had already made 3 Blue Note studio albums in the year preceding the November 1957 recording of "A Night at the Village Vanguard," which would be his first-ever live album & the first-ever live album to be recorded at the iconic NYC club: bluenote.lnk.to/SonnyRollins-A…
Bit late to share but I was v. pleased to review The Notebooks of Sonny Rollins + new albums from Alan Braufman and Kamasi Washington in this issue of The Wire!
The Wire 483 is out now! thewire.co.uk/issues/483 Still House Plants: London’s post-post punk trio use deconstructed songform to tap emotions others cannot reach. By Frances Morgan. Plus: NikNak, Cheer-Accident, Kristin Hersh’s Jukebox, Lolina, FUJI||||||||||TA, and much more!
Wishing the happiest of birthdays to my friend and musical partner Rosa Passos - Oficial! I was so happy to perform with her earlier this month at The Appel Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center She is a massive talent and a wonderful friend.
"One must aspire to the level at which one shall have completely and conclusively been convicted in the thought so as to be able to walk into the lion's den and demonstrate one's MASTERSHIP." From The Notebooks of Sonny Rollins, coming Apr 16 from NYRB Books.
Farewell to the legendary Albert “Tootie” Heath, of the Heath Brothers. He was 88. The drums on Herbie Hancock’s “Tell Me a Bedtime Story”? On Yusef Lateef’s “Nubian Lady”? On Trane’s first album? On Nina’s first album? That was Tootie. tidal.com/playlist/99f94…
RIP Tootie Heath (1935-2024). Sad news. The master drummer died yesterday, 88 yrs old. One of the very best drummers & sharpest, funniest storytellers of his generation. (A key person in terms of pushing the project that became I Called Him Morgan in a certain direction.) ❤️
On Thursday April 4 from 12-2pm ET, Sonny Rollins' biographer Aidan Levy will join WKCR's Rachel Smith in a celebration of the 67th anniversary of the release of the album Saxophone Colossus. Listen live at cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/
My wishes for the planet in 2024: No killing. No killing. Don't kill anyone, anywhere, for any reason. –S.R.
Rest in Peace, Albert “Tootie” Heath
Calling all Sonny Rollins fans. Here's my review of the incredible Notebooks of Sonny Rollins. woodyhaut.blogspot.com/2024/01/inside…
The Notebooks of Sonny Rollins – The Brooklyn Rail brooklynrail.org/2024/02/music/…
HBD to Maestro Roy Haynes on his 99th birthday! The genius of the dance who drank from the fountain of youth and continues to inspire us today! Honored to have him on my 1st recording Discovery. By that time Roy had played with Prez, Bird, Lady, Bud, Sonny, Monk, and on and on.
@RollinsBridge @mcachicago Both pieces of art are beautiful.
@RollinsBridge @mcachicago And, according to Aidan Levy's biography, Sonny was madly in love with Faith! (She wasn't...).
Always a warm smile...a Pulitizer Prize winning smile. Happy Birthday to Henry Threadgill.
Recorded on this day in 1964. In an issue of Downbeat from 2009, Joe Lovano named Free For All as his favorite Blue Note album of all time.
@RollinsBridge @bluenoterecords No one like the great Sonny Rollins.
