with Sonny Rollins’ passing, there are officially no living participants from Art Kane’s famous “A Great Day in Harlem” photo. a chapter has closed.

Rest in peace, Sonny Rollins… Nicknamed the “Saxophone Colossus,” he reshaped modern jazz with fearless improvisation, a towering tenor tone, and timeless classics like Saxophone Colossus and The Bridge. One of the last great bebop giants, his sound and spirit changed jazz forever.

The Williamsburg needs to renamed the Sonny Rollins Bridge.

RIP Sonny's Bridge (Faith Ringgold, 1986)

Sonny Rollins was the last surviving musician from “A Great Day in Harlem”, the iconic 1958 photograph by Art Kane that brought together dozens of jazz legends in Harlem.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2 conta.cc/4wFIDrM

Eternal thanks Walter Theodore “Sonny” Rollins R.I.P 🙏🏽🤍🕊️ ありがとうございました、ソニー・ロリンズ 🙏🏽🤍🕊️

Lauryn Hill speaks on why she hasn’t released another studio album since ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill’: "When you're inspired and desire to be principled, what doesn't get talked about enough is the drain... nor the challenge to find safety so that you can create with integrity." "Most see opportunity as dollars only and often exclude the 'sense'. The Score nor the Miseducation were made because we were 'allowed' to represent what we did, we fought for every inch. Wild success can cause greed that begins to denegrate the art for the money." "Artists go through phases, creativity requires expression, exploration and experimentation." "I was like a Harriet Tubman figure in some respects running to speak difficult truths to power before certain forces tried to close those doors. If it was so easy to do, where is that expression now on the world stage? Systems fear what they can't control. Creativity is most potent when it's free."

Never let physical media die. Scrapbooks, CDs, DVDs, vinyl records, hardback books, cassette tapes. We need to keep all of it in rotation.
