Tenor Madness is actualy one of my favorite songs. This is the song that turned me on to Sonny Rollins.

Thanks for posting this vid. I myself am a Tenor Sax jazz musician. To me Sonny Rollins never gets old. Ofcourse you might not have the same breathe as you did when you were 30, but Miles Davis also showed signs of not playing as strong. That happens with age. But to be honest, personaly I do not feel that Sonny has lost a step. To me he is still the reigning king of tenors.KEEP BLOWING SUNNY...BECUASE AS JAZZ CATS, THAT IS ALL WE HAVE.

If Newk wants to keep playing and people want to keep seeing him, all the power to him. If he's got the flare, light that fire.You don't have to see him or buy any of the new albums.

"I think the reason he 'Keeps on Going' is because He's a Musician, it's in his fuckin blood! You dont give up just cos' your past 30or whatever! However, I do agree with you thathis 'fire has diminished', but with age - that is what happens and I also love his early years. However, True musicians will carry on doing what they love doing best. I admire performers who carryon despite the odds against them. The great Segovia and 90 something year old Les Paul are examples of longgevity!"

You have probably forgotten what Brecker answered when he was asked how do he felt being king of sax: "Go ask Jerry Bergonzi".As for Sonny, I personally can't compare him with younger people. If you take playing jazz seriously on sax, you surely have some Sonny in your chops. So you don't own 100% credit...
