A jazzy tribute to two of huge acting talents we lost last week : Jean-Paul Belmondo and Michael K. Williams. It has all been a matter of death and life, birth and loss. While the world mourn these legendary actors, jazz enthusiasts celebrated the 91st birthday of the living legend Sonny Rollins. The jazz “Colossus” remains to be an important figure of post bebop era and beyond. The wisdom of sonny rollins is something unique. Listening to him talking about life is always a delightful experience.
