Sonny Rollins is widely recognized as one of the most
important and influential jazz musicians of the post-bebop
era. Rollins played with piano legand Thelonious Monk
before reaching the age of 20. A number of his
compositions, including "St Thomas","Oleo","and Airegin"
have become jazz standards.
In the early 40's jazz bebop saxophonists such as
Charlie Parker shifted jazz from danceable popular
music towards a more challenging "musicians music",
with solos that included more chromaticism and
dissonance. In the early 50's, hard bop sax players
such as John Coltrane infused their music with rhythm
and blues styles and gospel influences. In the 50's and
60's, free jazz pioneers such as Ornette Coleman
developed unusual new sounds and playing styles.
