But I dont put him up there with Charlie Parker. For some reason I think I define Charlie Parker and John Coltrane as the greatest of greats.

I spent years studying privately and playing a sax. My taste leans a lot more to Paul Desmond & Gerry Mulligan. That's clearly just personal taste.

All that being said, there's no denying Sonny Rollins was an excellent artist and very prolific throughout his long career.

Still, very sad to see his time come to an end.
