Thougth I might add my two bits...with all these somewhat disturbing comments... comparisons.....best this ...best that....lost fire....Brecker.. etc. I suppose all somehow valid. I just cant comprehend someone diminishing a man that has contributed so much ...recording for what... 70 years? I hear an enormous musical vocabulary, vast riches, a wondrous warmth and beauty, pure pleasure "in the now". Aging, good days, not so good days (gigs) whatever thats life... thats Jazz. Brecker my ass

Sorry, that was in response to the comment left by "p0ezi" about the "Nice little riff" at 0:30. I didn't claim everything Sonny plays is easy, just that one little thing. As far as the me not being a sax player assumption though, you have no evidence that I am not.

I would like to see you pull off anything that Sonny plays and then call it easy. You are no saxophone player.

It's always the easy things that people are impressed by. As a musician, that bothers me, yet I like it at the same time, haha.

Tenor Madness is actualy one of my favorite songs. This is the song that turned me on to Sonny Rollins.

Thanks for posting this vid. I myself am a Tenor Sax jazz musician. To me Sonny Rollins never gets old. Ofcourse you might not have the same breathe as you did when you were 30, but Miles Davis also showed signs of not playing as strong. That happens with age. But to be honest, personaly I do not feel that Sonny has lost a step. To me he is still the reigning king of tenors.KEEP BLOWING SUNNY...BECUASE AS JAZZ CATS, THAT IS ALL WE HAVE.

If Newk wants to keep playing and people want to keep seeing him, all the power to him. If he's got the flare, light that fire.You don't have to see him or buy any of the new albums.

0:30 - 0:33Very nice little riff!
