Rollins\u2019 chops have yet to diminish one iota, as he remains an imaginative player whose gift for melody and love of a good surprise is unparalleled. Rollins blows solo at the beginning of Irving Berlin\u2019s \u201cThey Say It\u2019s Wonderful\u201d (from the Japanese show), then reminds us why he has, for a half century, been considered one of jazz\u2019s most effective leaders. The New York material is highlighted by fellow octogenarian Ornette Coleman\u2019s surprise 22-minute walk-on for the classic \u201cSonnymoon for Two,\u201d which brought the house down at the Beacon and does again here. \u2013Jeff Tamarkin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SONNY ROLLINS Road Shows, Vol. 2 [Doxy\/Emarcy] Without a doubt the most buzzed-about jazz concert of 2010 in New York City was Sonny Rollins\u2019 80th birthday celebration, held last September at the Beacon Theatre.
