I've never seen Sonny live, I hope some day I can! I think Sonny Rollins sound express a joy of life that is difficult to find among other musicians. Maybe Louis Armstrong. Is there someone ready to inherit Sonny's style? I'm looking for, but it's hard to find... All the Best!!! :) Lucky you! I’ve never seen Sonny live, I hope some day I can!
