Sonny Rollins passed away at the age of 95 on May 25, 2026. It is an honor to hold a late recording of Rollins, the jazz legend known as the Saxophone Colossus, speaking at The Yusef Lateef Symposium last September 2025. He notes his time with Lateef and what he learned from him. Throughout this week the Music Library will be sharing Sonny Rollins listening and reading resources from the archives and our physical collection.
