By the time he was 19, he had recorded with trombonist <strong>J.J. Johnson<\/strong> and pianist <strong>Bud Powell<\/strong>. Soon he was one of the most sought after saxophonists in New York, and could be heard playing with\u00a0<strong>Miles Davis<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Thelonious Monk<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the age of 82, he&#8217;s still resisting stereotype and compromise, and revered by a new generation of young musicians, Rollins continues his single-minded search for meaning in his music and his life.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Saxophone Collossus<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rollins developed a bold and quirky melodic style, informed by the idiosyncrasies of two of the most prominent saxophonists at the time,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/jazz.about.com\/od\/classicjazzartists\/p\/LesterYoung.htm\">Lester Young<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and <strong>Coleman Hawkins<\/strong>. In the mid 1950s, influenced heavily by the rapid technique of\u00a0<strong>Charlie Parker<\/strong>, Rollins hit his stride as an artist. In 1956 he recorded two seminal albums:\u00a0<em>Saxophone Colossus<\/em>, which features the calypso-inspired tune \u00abSt. Thomas,\u00bb and\u00a0<em>Tenor Madness<\/em>, on whose title track, a driving blues, Rollins trades choruses with<strong>\u00a0John Coltrane.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V0fPYzyB2AQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-11630\" title=\"s-rollins\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eoisabi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/s-rollins.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"365\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/s-rollins.jpg 456w, https:\/\/englishroam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/s-rollins-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/englishroam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/s-rollins-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/englishroam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/s-rollins-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The following year, Rollins became the first saxophonist to record in a trio setting, with drums and bass but no piano or guitar. In 1957 he released both\u00a0<em>Way Out West<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>A Night at the Village Vanguard<\/em>\u00a0with a trio, and coined a sound that contemporary saxophonists such as <strong>Joshua Redman<\/strong> and <strong>Kenny Garrett<\/strong> have since fervently explored.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The Bridge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By the end of the 1950s however, Rollins was feeling pressured by promoters, and frustrated by his own playing. In 1959 he took a sabbatical from gigging and recording, and devoted his time to practicing on the Williamsburg Bridge in New York City. When he returned to the music business in 1963, he named his comeback album\u00a0<em>The Bridge<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Living Legend<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since the 1960s, Rollins has maintained a steady performance career, although one that is marked by soul searching and artistic reinvention.

Sanders&#8217; early favorites included Harold Land, James Moody, Sonny Rollins, Charlie Parker, and John Coltrane. Known in the San Francisco Bay Area as \u00abLittle Rock,\u00bb Sanders soon began playing bebop, rhythm &amp; blues, and free jazz with many of the region&#8217;s finest musicians, including fellow saxophonists Dewey Redman and Sonny Simmons, as well as pianist Ed Kelly and drummer Smiley Winters. In 1961, Sanders moved to New York, where he struggled. Unable to make a living with his music, Sanders took to pawning his horn, working non-musical jobs, and sometimes sleeping on the subway. During this period he played with a number of free jazz luminaries, including Sun Ra, Don Cherry, and Billy Higgins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1964, Coltrane asked Sanders to sit in with his band. The following year, Sanders was playing regularly with the Coltrane group. Coltrane&#8217;s ensembles with Sanders were some of the most controversial in the history of jazz. Their music represents a near total desertion of traditional jazz concepts, like swing and functional harmony, in favor of a teeming, irregularly structured, organic mixture of sound for sound&#8217;s sake. Strength was a necessity in that band, and as Coltrane realized, Sanders had it in abundance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/artist\/sanders-mn0000330601\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sanders<\/a>\u00a0made his first record as a leader in 1964 for the ESP label.

From the late &#8217;70s until 1987, he recorded for the small independent label Theresa. From 1987,\u00a0Sanders\u00a0recorded for the Evidence and Timeless labels. The former bought Theresa records in 1991 and subsequently re-released\u00a0Sanders&#8217; output for that company.
