As with the original Blues guys, the Gods of Jazz are disappearing.  Sonny Rollins hung and played with all of the jazz greats and legends.  Even found time to add a touch of class to the 'Sones, "Waitin' For a Friend".  

An aside: I've always thought of Sonny Rollins as the jazz equivalent of Buddy Guy.

One of the true greats.  I feel very fortunate that I got to see him live three times.  He could blow a horn like NO other..........
