This week we lost one of the last giants from the "classic" age of jazz. Sonny Rollins passed at the age of 95 on May 25, one day prior to Miles Davis' 100th birthday. Rollins not only helped define the sound of jazz tenor saxophone on such classic albums as Saxophone Colossus, Freedom Suite, and The Bridge, but he also continued to evolve and perform up into his eighties. On this week's show, we highlight some of his classic tracks, pay tribute to Miles' 100th, and spotlight some new music and upcoming shows this weekend. Listen live at 3 p.m. PT on 95.7FM locally or kdrt.org worldwide.
Replays Sunday at 4 p.m. and Thursday 10 a.m.
