Saxophone Colossus: A Portrait of Sonny Rollins ( Editura: Harry N. Abrams/Books Outlet, Autor: Bob Blumenthal ISBN 9780810996151)

Jazz legend Sonny Rollins will celebrate his 80th birthday this fall, and Saxophone Colossus will be published to mark this occasion and honor his incredibly prolific career. This intimate appreciation combines the images of John Abbott, who as Rollins’s photographer of choice for the past 20 years has captured the saxophonist at home and at work, and the essays of Bob Blumenthal, a jazz critic who has chronicled Rollins and his art for nearly four decades.
