Happy New Year, Sonny.

I'm so glad to read that you'll be in London in 2009. I missed my annual pilgrimage to see you last year!

Now I can't wait for November to come around!

Until then, have a great year

I second the request for a NYC appearance in 2009. I would love to finally get to see you live.

Thank you for the music Sonny

If one day it is discovered that life exist beyond this planet and we needed to have someone represent what music is from this world I would nominate you Mr. Rollins.
I hope you play in the New York area in 2009. I will be there tapping my feet.

Dear Mr. Rollins,

You are a brilliant musician. Thank you for all of the expressive solos and iconic jazz compositions.

I am working on a dissertation, and I am hoping you might be willing to entertain a couple of questions about your friendship with artist Gertrude Abercrombie and her friend, author James Purdy. I would really love to hear from you.

Hey Sonny! I am a huge fan, and I've loved your music since I first got into jazz when I was a teenager living in Albuquerque.

I read in the newspaper about a year ago that there was going to be an album release (possibly a double-album) of the discovered 50 year old tape of your Carnegie Hall concert in addition to the new 50th anniversary Carnegie Hall concert with Christian McBride and Roy Haynes. I've eargerly awaited this release, but I'm not sure if it's still coming out. I saw that the recent Road Shows Vol. 1 album has one track from the 50th anniversary Carnegie Hall concert, but will the entire concert (along with the original one from 50 years ago) be released on CD in their entirety?

Sincerely and with much love and respect,
Justin David Thomas

Dear Mr. Rollins,
what a great concert in Berlin!
Specially your solo in "Sonny, please" was spectacular. You´ve played with such a physical and mental strength, energy and honesty, everything what the musicscene and the world really need.
I feel so glad and it was (and still will be) the greatest honor for me to had the chance to meet you. Thank you again for your music and your patience after such a "tour de force"-concert.
Best regards to Peter Downey, he was very kind and the members of your band and Bret Primack of course
Please relax and recover after such a heavy tour, have a good time and merry christmas!!!
All the best, lol David

Dear Sonny,
Thank you very much that you are still playing concerts. I am saxophonist and big fan of you and your approach to music. In Munich you satisfied one of my dreams to hear you live.
Thank you again and go ahead!

Sunday, 7 December 2008 13:30 Host: p5B0B7D67.dip.t-dialin.net

Dear Sonny,
when you told me last year after a fantastic concert at Bruxelles, thar you would come to Munich this year, I was looking foreward to this event. And it was great, what I could hear yesterday.
Thank you for so many years with your beautiful music

Einmal im Leben!
Yesterday Munich’s Philarmonie light up with Sonny’s concert.
Everytime he touched his saxo we were all claping ours hands. At the end we were crazy, stood up and yelling. I never thought that I could see Munich like that!
I come from Perú, so seeing Sonny was my “einmal im Leben” experience.
Nobody can be the same after Sonny’s concert.

Dear Sonny,
after this terrific concert in Düsseldorf I'll go to work with a smile on my face. Life is much more easier. For me your music and jazz music generally are something like soulfood. I thank you for your great music and for your kindness, patience and endurance after the concert, while writing so many autographs for everyone of us, your waiting fans.
Sonny please keep well and fit! Hope to see you once again in Germany! God bless you.
Best wishes

Dear sonny,

after about 30 minutes- great black music in düsseldorf. I admire your energy and spirituality. I did not forget the message of this exciting music. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Yours Klaus

Dear Sonny,

I just returned from the tremendously wonderful concert in Duesseldorf. I have been your big fan for almost 30 years. Although your walking speed was getting a little bit slow, your energy, passion and great sound remains unchanged! And today, I was really surprised and impressed with your singing voice. I think this was the first time to listen to your singing. You are a great singer as well!!!
Sonny, I forever idolize you. I am really, really looking forward to seeing you again in near future.

Regards,
Hideaki Hiroi

Monday, 1 December 2008 20:19 Host: p54BF3597.dip0.t-ipconnect.de

Dear Sonny,
thank you so much for giving me the privilege to meet you after concert and for signing the photograph; for the rythms and the sounds from your horn, for all the beauty and love and wisdom in that sound of yours. I´m shaken and in tears time and time again. I´ve never heard anything like tonight´s "Sonny Please" before, not even from you! But thank you most of all for your spiritual guidance, for being a light and a truly positive force! Please stay well, too, and hope to see you next year some place in Europe again.
love and peace, Jürgen

Hello Sonny. I´m from Argetina, so my English is not so good. I only want to thank you for your music, because it really touch my soul and makes me feel world it's not so bad at all. Simply, thank you for putting beautiful in my life.
I want to start playing upright bass and let me tell you I will be playing with you someday (dream is cheap). And we are waiting for you in Argentina.

Thank you again.

Sunday, 30 November 2008 12:38 Host: pD9E63FF7.dip.t-dialin.net

Dear Sonny Rollins,

it really was a great show on Friday night in Hamburg.
I'm very sorry to read about the difficulties occuring before the concert. The responsable people seem to have a lack of respect.
Nevertheless the concert was wonderful from the beginning on.
Your whole biography and the fact, that you keep on performing at the highest level in spite of your obvious physical problems show how profound your love for music must be.
That we still have the opportunity to see you in concert is a great privilege.
Your politeness after an exhausting concert, when you signed my copy of your new CD was very impressive.

Thank you and stay well

Michael

Hamburg, Germany
November 28, 2008

We started off with a pretty rough day here in Hamburg. It turned out that the Philharmonic need the stage at the Musikhalle to rehearse until late into the afternoon. We couldn't start setting up our equipment until they were done and the stage was cleared. We barely had time to do a sound check. In the end it turned out to be a great show. The audience was on their feet in the end clapping in rhythm until Sonny returned for one more.

1. Sonny Please
2. Someday I'll Find You
3. In A Sentimental Mood
4. Nice Lady
5. Falling In Love Again
6. Don't Stop the Carnival

7. You're My Everything

Dear Mr. Rollins -
I'm listening to Jazz for nearly 50 years - but I never heard anything like your concert in Hamburg last night. Thank you. (And thanks to your wonderful fellow-musicians.)

Saturday, 29 November 2008 03:29 Host: c-98-210-102-233.hsd1.ca.comcast.net

Thanks Sonny! I've been playing tenor for 38 years. I have loved you from the first time I heard you. Thank you.

Your concert at Alte Oper was so beautiful - one of the best I heard. Please stay well! With my head still in Sonny's music cloud, Barbaralala

Thursday, 27 November 2008 21:37 Host: cpe-204-210-155-233.hvc.res.rr.com

Dear Mr. Rollins,
I am sure you must tire of people stating the obvious, your music makes you a god among men. I spend my times listening to "You Don't Know What Love Is." The apparent beauty of this piece brings tears to my eyes. I hope you will perform in NYC sometime in the near future! I absolutely Love you!

Thursday, 27 November 2008 02:14 Host: e180133080.adsl.alicedsl.de

Dear Mr. Rollins,

it was an honours to welcome you yesterday night at the Alte Oper. Your version of In A Sentimental Mood was the best one Ive ever listened to and you simply got the vibe to excite the people. I just fall into an old edition of jazz hot, the franch jazz magazine, from 1967 having you with jean-paul sartre on the cover! thanks for the sounds and have a good tour!

Thank you for a wonderful concert of inspiring music at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt last night. You and your brilliant band made this night very special.

Mr Rollins,

I met you at JFK Airport and wish to apologise for not knowing who you were. You were in the Virgin lounge waiting for your flight to Brazil. I had a chat with you and asked about your Saxaphone and how long you had been playing. You told me you had been playing since you were seven years old and I said "Oh you must be pretty good by now". You replied "I'm not bad". I didn't know who you were at the time but I do now. That discussion showed me what a gentleman and real star you are by not playing the big I am and don't you know who I am thing that many of the so called stars do these days.

It was an honour to meet you and I wish you continued success for the future and look forward to listening to your music from now on.

Best Regards,

David

Thursday, 20 November 2008 02:42 IP: 145.253.163.210

Dear Friend Sonny, thank you so much for your beautiful message. Here in Frankfurt a lot of people I know are eager to hear you play on Wednesday 26 at the Alte Oper – among them 2 of my colleagues at work. Looking&hearing forward to your Sonny art. Love, Barbara

Tuesday, 18 November 2008 22:07 Host: d75-154-65-145.abhsia.telus.net

Sonny,

You are one of my biggest musical inspirations. I am a 16 year old jazz guitarist. I just hope that in 2010 you come to Calgary, Alberta, Canada because i'd like to hear you live, as you are the last of a dieing breed.

Thanks for reading this,
Nicholas Bettcher

Hey really enjoy Sonny. What an inspiration

Wednesday, 12 November 2008 22:03 Host: 201-95-112-130.dsl.telesp.net.br

Mr. Rollins,

I thank You deeply for the several lessons of Freedom that You give to us through all this beautiful years of divine music. I was at the concert in that saturday morning here in São Paulo and I feel very blessed because I could listen to the music in person - what a great experience... For me it was a meeting with Excellence itself. I play electric guitar and You, Sir, ever shows me a new way, like a fresh air to love and respect music more and more.

I wish all the best, be Blessed always!
Michel Leme

Monday, 10 November 2008 10:04 IP: 85.139.168.156

I wish you many more years performing on stage, and I'm proud for being recognized, in my country (Portugal), as the "portuguese Rollins" (well, just by the influence and caracteristics of my tenor sax sonority and "phraseology", because I'm very, very far even from dreaming on becoming a jazz giant, a living legend and a kind of a hero saxophonist with a major role in music and Jazz history of all-times, as Mr. Sonny Rollins is...) .
But you are so important on my saxophone player carrer nowadays, than you were 30 years ago, when I started my professional activity.
Greetings, "Newk".

Congratulations Mr Rollins for you brilliant performances! I have seen many on You tube. I live very far from São Paulo and it's very difficult for me to go there, I'm sorry I couldn't see you there! My birthday is coming an all I asked to my family is a Sonny Rollins CD, so I can hear the beautiful music you play, specially Don't Stop the Carnival, one of my favorites! We didn't find the CD here, please tell me how I can get it. Thank you!
My best wishes!

Dear Sonny,

You've been one of my heroes for over 40 years and I just wanted to wish you the best and congratulations for hanging in there with the most powerful saxophone sound this mandolin picker has ever heard.

My wife and I saw your last performance in San Francisco and were blown away. You're an inspiration.

Saturday, 1 November 2008 22:15 Host: ool-44c666e5.dyn.optonline.net

Sonny-saw you this past August at Newport. Was one of the most moving sets I have ever heard. Your tone had a spiritual quality to it that put me in a place I rarely have gone musically.
Thank you for sharing your great talent with us.

It happened on a sunny Saturday morning at Ibirapuera Park in Sao Paulo - Brazil. I was there on time!! What can I say about the concert...? fire, energy, life, history, passion, and love from that horn!! Right after the concert, the Sonny´s driver gave me the direction of the hotel... (thanks, man!!). Finally, 1 hour later, at the lobby of the hotel, I had my 5 minutes of conversation with Sonny. He asked me questions about the jazz scene in Sao Paulo and made some comments about it.... Very kind!! It was really something!!! Well, I decided not to disturb the man.. I didn´t ask him to sign the book about his life, written by Eric Nisenson; didn´t ask him for a brief interview for a national saxophone magazine... but I asked to take a picture with him... Thank you, Sonny!! God bless you!!

Tuesday, 28 October 2008 06:33 IP: 145.253.163.210

Hello dear Sonny, what else could I write to you than that your new album is sooooooooooooo beautiful. Have it since last Saturday and heard it for the third time this morning on my way to work. I guess I am walking about 2 kilometres every morning – an experience full of energy and emotional power hearing your 7 Road-Show-1-pieces. Each tune very different and with its very own beauty that only you can create on tenor saxophone. One really feels rescued and empowered listening to your music. Whatever rigorous judgement YOU make about your art. I LOVE IT. Hearing & looking forward to Frankfurt. Hope to meet you ) Please take care of yourself. Barbara

Monday, 27 October 2008 22:47 Host: u3-irc-118-207.ResHall.Berkeley.EDU

Dear Sonny,

I want to say that you are one of the reason's why I am a jazz drummer today. When I first started playing drums, I was given Saxophone Colossus and Tenor Madness. I played along to those records every day for a month...your incredible level of musicianship and communication has inspired me to become a better drummer...Hopefully I will someday be able to play with you...You are my hero...

Sonny Rollins' Fans Worldwide. I need to share with you all the amazing experience of watching Sonny and his wonderful band (Anderson, Broom, Cranshaw and Watkins)Alive in Sao Paulo. It was 2 hours of excellent music, a strong stage presence, throwing to the audience the best in Jazz in the world from the Saxophone Colossus.
Imagine this: In each solo, the audience went mad, yelling and clapping their hands. People of all ages and tribes in total ovation to our Greek God. In the beginning, the audience was shy in front of the Colossus, however, after the second song we were all captured and involved by Sonny hypnotized tunes. As a result, when we realized, we were all stood up, yelling and asking for more.

God Bless Sonny!!!!

Wednesday, 22 October 2008 12:16 Host: isa.stillwater.k12.ok.us

SR- I don't know really why I am doing this, writing, except that I hope it might make you feel good to know you are making others feel good. The daydream image of you practicing on the bridge is an inspiration.
I practice my thing, skateboarding, alone, at night most often. Skateboarding to me is a lot like jazz. While some of it might be based on tricks, it has more to do with style, how one rolls, how one stands on the board. It is not a sport but an art.
Your sounds have been swimming in my head these last few nights. Thank you.

Wednesday, 22 October 2008 08:51 Host: h-66-166-186-235.mclnva23.covad.net

To Sonny Rollins personally ...

Hi, I'm Inge Sonck, hope you still remember my dad, Wilfried Sonck?

Ever since he's been gone I still think a lot about him, and you, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Toots Tielemans, Louis Armstrong, ... an numberous of jazz-legends he's been in touch with...

Ofcourse, I still remember you because you've been in our home, about 20-25 years ago, in Brasschaat ...

And up untill today, I still feel a strong connection with the music my dad loved, even if I have never seen you since than!

Hope to get a reaction, trying to find out what my daddy was all about ...

Kind regards,

Currently playing Doxy on piano-such a great creative blues with the syncopated groove. Simple pure music.

Loved your 90s record with Stephen Scott. Hope to catch you live some one of these nights. Happy life anniversary

Hello Sonny R.
You are such a great leader to my schools jazz band. I didn't know that at the age of 11 I would be interested in your wonderful music .

Love,

Bless you Sonny.

I have been a big Springsteen fan and thought Clarence Clemons was the man. I told this to my father who loved jazz. He said Clarence cannot touch the likes of Sonny Rollins. I didn't understand as I didn't know who Sonny Rollins was. It took years and I love your style. Park Palace parade is my all time favorite.

Keep it coming and Happy Belated !!!

Friday, 3 October 2008 11:00 Host: hqipx1.ms.com

I just purchased and watched the Jazz Icons DVD release, Sonny Rollins - Live in '65 & '68. It is just incredible to have these performances preserved. A number of years ago, there were 2 cd's issued on the Italian Moon Records label which consisted of Sonny in Denmark in 1968. The video performance from 68 on the DVD is different than the cd, but with the same quartet. Were these Denmark performances the only ones that Sonny did in 1968. I do not know of anything done since these until 1972's Next Album release.

Thursday, 2 October 2008 13:34 Host: hqipx2.ms.com

A belated Happy Birthday, Sonny. I last heard you in Central Park this past summer. It was a glorious evening. I'm looking forward to the new live CD. Keep well, and thank you for all of the beauty you continue to bring into this world.

Wednesday, 1 October 2008 13:17 Host: 144.Red-80-35-16.staticIP.rima-tde.net

Mr. Rollins, I saw you in San Sebastian, Spain, quite a few years a go. You and your group started playing from a popular melody and then everybody was fliying on a misterious, open, fascinating stream of new music. At one moment, you could not go on with the playing: there where nowhere to go (except silence)! I remember your piano men smiling to you, and I remember my own joy. It was beautifull. Thank you very much for giving us so much, maestro.

Tuesday, 30 September 2008 22:15 IP: 123.120.209.191

Sonny, your view of music has been a part of my life since the age of 13. Oleo was a personal revelation and as for 'He's younger than you are' is the greatest ballad I've ever heard, mmmmmmm!

All the best to you,

Monday, 29 September 2008 19:08 Host: ool-4578c37c.dyn.optonline.net

Your solo on the stone's "neighbors" is the best rock solo I've ever heard. Thanks

First of all i would like to say my thanks for what you did/do for the sax, you make it sound so good. I'm looking to buy a sax and i'm trying to sound like you, your just so good and influential.

i wanted to know how open your lower lip is when u play, do u roll it over your teeth or what do you do? my teacher tought me to un-roll it i guess you could say and i like my tone but i wanted to know if anyone else uses this method.

well thank you and take care of your self

Dear Sonny,

Just to say thank you for the music that has inspired me over the years and I hope one day to catch you in concert in the UK or US. God bless you and your family.

Take Care, Peter

Dear Sonny, I'm a painter from Verona, Italy. I have been a "fan" of you for more than thirty years. I painted a portrait of you and it would be great for me if I could send you at least a picture of it, so that you could see it. Hou could I do this?
With love,
Emilio

Keep on keeping on, and have a wonderful birthday.

Big love, Sorrel x
