Our Take

SONNY ROLLINS Sax Symbol

Rollins, the eternal saxophone sage, returns with a new album that blends jazz with a hint of cheeky charm. From the moment the first notes hit, it's clear that Rollins still reigns as the sax symbol of our time.

On tracks like "Funky Town" and "Smooth Operator," Rollins effortlessly glides through complex melodies with his signature swagger. His saxophone solos are like a conversation with an old friend - familiar, yet always surprising.

But it's not all smooth sailing on Sax Symbol. Rollins takes some risks with tracks like "Jazzy Jalapeno" and "Saxy Salad," incorporating Latin rhythms and unexpected harmonies. While some may find these choices a bit too spicy, we applaud Rollins for pushing the boundaries of his genre.

Overall, Sax Symbol is a delightful mix of tradition and innovation, showcasing Rollins' unparalleled skill and wit. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or just looking for something to groove to, this album is sure to hit the right notes. So grab your saxophone and join Rollins on this musical adventure - you won't be disappointed.
