Sonny Rollins
Born:
It’s no state secret that Sonny Rollins has never been fond of the recording studio. Never mind that he’s recorded his full share of gems there—not only early, celebrated albums such as Saxophone Colossus and Way Out West, but also digital-era efforts such as Old Flames and This Is What I Do. The man often embraced as the greatest living improviser requires too much creative freedom to start playing, as he puts it, “when the red light comes on.” And his perfectionism makes it difficult, sometimes painfully so, to go through multiple takes in search of what he thinks is the least flawed one.

Rising above the audience laughter, somewhere in the depths of the theatre, a voice replied, “Roy, you're a giant!" ...
Roy Haynes: Still Lighting It Up
by Chris M. Slawecki
This article was first published on All About Jazz in June 1997. Drummer Roy Haynes isn't just cool--he's cooooolllll.
