SONNY ROLLINS (Living legend) Jazz History #54

Описание: Within sight of his centenary, Sonny Rollins is one of the last jazz musicians of his generation, a direct and precious connection to the history of the music. Possessed of a drive and work ethic that few could rival, 'Newk' held and continues to hold himself to the highest standard. He wears with dignity and honor the title of living legend, one of the greatest tenor saxophonists of all time, a giant among giants. Sonny's legacy is too big to be contained in one episode, so the story will continue in Jazz History #55.

ABOUT THIS SERIES
The Jazz History series is a video adaptation of a PowerPoint presentation used to teach a university course in jazz history. It traces the roots of jazz from Ragtime at the turn of the 20th century to jazz-rock fusion at the end of the 1960s. You’ll find a lot more videos like this one in the JAZZ HISTORY playlist on this channel.
