De Walter Theodore ("Sonny") Rollins, gebuer de 7. September 1930 zu New York City, a gestuerwen de 25. Mee 2026 zu Woodstock, am Bundesstaat New York[1][2], war en US-amerikaneschen Tenor-Saxophonist a Komponist am Stil vum Modern Jazz.
De Rollins war ee vun de leschte prominente Museker vun der Bebop-Generatioun; hien huet zanter de spéiden 1940er Joren iwwer 60 Albumen ënner sengem Numm publizéiert.[2] Hie war ee vun den aflossräichsten Jazz-Saxophonisten. Besonnesch seng innovativ Improvisatiounen, an deenen en eege musikalesch Iddien agebaut huet, ware bemierkenswäert.
Dräi vu senge Kompositiounen zielen haut zu den Jazz-Standards: Airegin, Doxy an Oleo. Hien huet ë. a. mam Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk an John Coltrane zesumme gespillt.
