Influential jazz saxophonist (born 1930) who composed a number of jazz standards, including ‘Oleo’ and ‘Doxy.’ Two items: one ALS signed “S. Rollins,” two yellow lined pages, 8.5 x 11.5, no date, in part: “I was fortunate to be born in a very musical environment. In the crib I heard Fats Waller, whose exuberance and great artistry started me on the road to becoming a professional. I have many other favorites including Louis Jordan, Coleman Hawkins, Louis Armstrong and on and on but Fats was probably the first one I remember”; and one glossy 8 x 10 publicity photo of Rollins with his tenor saxophone, signed and inscribed in black felt tip, “To Gary—Best Wishes, Sonny.” In overall fine condition, with slight spotting to finish of the photo and a rough top edge to the letter from notepad removal.
