Saxophone Colossus Sonny Rollins celebrates his 90th birthday on The Tight Rope

Jazz elder and survivor Sonny Rollins shares his incredible stories from the past nine decades as one of the preeminent tenor saxophone artists. He also delivers some existential wisdom for these challenging times and tells Dr. Cornel West and Professor Tricia Rose why “It’s all good.”

Plus, Doc and Tricia celebrate the life and career of "Black Panther" star Chadwick Boseman, cut too short by colon cancer.

Check out “Rollins in Holland”, a brand new archival release from Resonance Records in partnership with the Nederlands Jazz Archief, coming out later this year. The deluxe 2-CD and limited-edition 180g 3-LP set is officially sanctioned by Rollins and features three previously unissued performances with bassist Ruud Jacobs and drummer Han Bennink in May of 1967 at Vara Studio in Hilversum, the Arnhem Academy of Visual Arts, and a televised performance at the Go-Go Club in Loosdrecht. The new box set also includes an extensive booklet with never-before-published photos from each venue; essays by Rollins biographer Aidan Levy and Dutch jazz journalist/producer Frank Jochemsen; and interviews with Rollins and Bennink.
