Jazz Legend Energizes Memorial
By Joanna Pearson
Staff Writer
Great musical performances can be
quite different experiences. Some music
is played at you. Great jazz, however,
seems to be more
of a musical
exchange -a con
versation between
musicians that the
audience is lucky
enough to over
hear. Sonny

Memorial Hall

Rollins, then, is a master at the art of
musical conversation.
His concert, which was part of both
the 2001 Carolinajazz Festival and the
Carolina Union Performing Arts Series,
was nothing short of incredible. Rollins
and the rest of the band put on a pow
erful show that was as energetic as it was
unassuming.
Rollins, one of the last representatives
of jazz’s golden age, trained on the tenor
sax under Thelonius Monk. Rollins’
contemporaries included Jackie
McLean, Kenny Drew and Art Taylor,

and he recorded tracks with Babs
Gonzales and Miles Davis before the
age of 20.
Now, as he approaches 71, Rollins is
still a dynamo on the stage.
“Someone told me, ‘Sonny, you’re
getting old,’” he told the audience. “I
said, ‘I know, I don’t even buy green
bananas from the grocery store any
more.’”
Rollins, however, seems to just be
getting started. As he strolls around the
stage in his dark suit and dark glasses
with his white beard, Rollins is so cool
he defies the very slang of cool. But
when you see him start snapping his lin
gers and bobbing his head with the
other players or pumping his fist tri
umphantly after a great riff, it’s hard not
to think, “This man is a badass!”
And he is, though even that word is
too weak to describe how Rollins rolls
notes from his sax, moving with the
instrument as if he’s dancing with a
woman.
Rollins was accompanied on stage by
a piano, trombone, bass and drums, and
together, the group had a definite rap

port. As the trombonist picked up the
melody and then tossed it over to the
piano for a response, or back to Rollins,
the group seemed so lost in its musical
banter that at times it was almost obliv
ious to the audience.
So if true genius is making something
look easy, Rollins plays jazz with the
same casual mastery with which some
one has a street conversation. As the
band played songs like Thelonius
Monks’ “Reflections” or Rollins’ tribute
to Charlie Mingus, “Charles M,” it was
hard not to feel nostalgic for jazz leg
ends’ mythologized world of smoky
clubs, Harlem neighborhoods and the
like.
Even Memorial Hall, completely
packed with a sold-out crowd, felt some
how smaller and more intimate when
filled with the warm notes of Rollins’
sax.
And Rollins, though he played with
truly nonchalant brilliance, was reward
ed with multiple standing ovations.
