Sonny Rollins returns to Symphony Center after his 2005 performance that “erased lingering doubts about the enduring vibrancy of his art” (Chicago Tribune). Rollins is hailed worldwide as the greatest living saxophonist and one of the music’s most exacting and exhilarating practitioners. His allegiance to the hard bop tradition and intensity of spirit has endured as he continues to perform his interpretations of an idiom he both mastered and helped define.
