Saxophone legend Sonny Rollins passed away this week at age 95. Once called “the last remaining titan of jazz,” Rollins brought his iconic sound to Hancher in 1993.

A Hancher press release from that year captured it best stating “For many, Sonny Rollins is more than just a musician or performer. For them, a Rollins concert is a revelatory, almost religious experience.”

He will be missed and his legacy will live on in the world of jazz. 🎷
