Jazz Profiles presented by Tim Owens & 32 Bar BluesSonny RollinsA giant by any standard and a powerful presence in jazz, Sonny Rollins is a master of improvisation in an art form that is drenched in spontaneity. Yet his roots are as deep as they are deeply American, and he both celebrates tradition and innovates whenever he plays his sax. He has shared the stage with such legends as Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, and Dizzy Gillespie – and he has re-shaped modern jazz many times over the course of a career lasting more than 60 years. As part of the Peabody Award-winning documentary series “Jazz Profi...2025-07-0155 min

Discovering JazzEpisode 319: Sonny Rollins, Part 2Part two of my two part series on Sonny Rollins, inspired by Saxophon Colossus by Aidan Levy.
I play and introduce eight selections, ranging from 1951 up to his last studio album in 2006. It includes two of his first recordings, a recording where he played on a Thelonious Monk album, a selection from his 2001 grammy winning album, and two collaborations with non-jazz stars: Leonard Cohen and The Rolling Stones.
And the episode starts with one of his compositions that has become a jazz standard, playing with Clifford Brown, Richie Powell, George Morrow, and Max Roach.
2025-05-2700 minDiscovering JazzEpisode 318: Sonny Rollins, Part 1This episode was inspired by my reading Saxophone Colossus: The Life and Music of Sonny Rollins. Thanks to Mark Vasey for giving me this book.
For these two episodes I focus more on the music than on his life....although both are fascinating. Starting with his first recording in 1951, with Miles Davis, I play tracks from some of his 46 + classic albums. You'll also hear something from his Sonny Meets Hawk album of 1963, where he teamed up with his idol, Coleman Hawkins.
At the time of recording this episode, Sonny Rollins is still alive and retired. 2025-05-2000 min

Walter Theodore “Sonny” Rollins, was born on September 7, 1930, in New York City. Sonny began his life in music playing the piano. He would later switch to the alto sax and in 1946 made the decision to switch again to the tenor saxophone.
