Sonny Rollins, born in Harlem in 1930 and shaped by the very birth of bebop, died Monday at ninety-five — closing one of the longest and most restless creative lives in American music. He was not content to master jazz; he insisted on interrogating it, treating the saxophone not as a vehicle for reputation but as a living question he spent seven decades trying to answer. His passing does not diminish that inquiry — it hands it forward, to every musician and listener willing to follow the sound into the unknown.
