I was fortunate enough to see Mr. Rollins perform when I was a college student nearly twenty years ago. I agree, book planes, trains or buses to see and hear him. Saxophone Colossus indeed. He and McCoy Tyner, who also played a date on campus, started my love of jazz.With Oscar Peterson's recent death, it really struck home that we won't have many more opportunities to see some of these legends on stage (thank goodness I finally got to see B.B. King live recently).
