has anyone seen sonny rollins in the past year. He will be playing in ann arbor, michigan in a month and I would like to know how the shows have been. Both in qualtity of performace and in song selection.
hey guys thanks for the input. As for the Picasso reference that does not wash because when going to see musician you are not going back in time to see them at their creative peak.
I'm a big Sonny fan, but I have to disagree with some of what's been said here. He is quite past his prime and the show I saw earlier this year was pretty weak, if you ask me. Go for the iconic value, but don't expect the moon. His band ain't so great either.
I saw Sonny at the Keswick theater, outside of Philadelphia, last year. What a thrill! Doesn't have quite have the power to tackle the works of his prime, but still an icon. A definite must see if you can.
