Rollins was among the most influential saxophonists in the history of jazz, and his distinctive sound significantly shaped the development of the genre. Since the 1940s he released more than 60 albums and carved out a place among the greatest jazz musicians of his era. He was unwavering in his pursuit of perfection and constantly strove to evolve his musical path. Der Standard ↗
The gravity of his contribution to jazz is underscored by the fact that Miles Davis once called him "the greatest tenor saxophonist of all time." Rollins's legacy will remain an inseparable part of the genre's history, and his influence will mark generations of future musicians. teraz.sk ↗
At the same time, the world is also marking the centenary of the birth of Miles Davis, one of the most creative and influential artists in the history of jazz. Davis had the rare ability to reject the comfort of success and, at the right moment, redefine the language of music, thereby significantly influencing the development of various forms of African American music.
