“Sonny Rollins, Giant of the Jazz Saxophone, Is Dead at 95”
—The New York Times

What’s it all about, Sonny?
A phrase, a photo shoot,
A bridge? Now you’re completely free
To tell. The question’s moot,
You’d say. Explore each scale and key.
Each chord has got a root.
You’ve got your head straight musically?
Now play. You’ll find the route.
