The way some musicians play, you think they'll never die. Theodore "Sonny" Rollins was such a man: A saxophonist revered for his huge tone and seemingly inexhaustible improvisations. Rollins died Monday afternoon at his Woodstock, N.Y. home at the age of 95. Rollins was a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master, a recipient of a Kennedy Center honor and a recipient of the National Medal of the Arts. And he was the very incarnation of a modern jazz musician. His art was his life. "All these prizes are nice, I appreciate them," he told NPR in 2007. "I don't go crazy about them -- you have to do your work whether you're recognized or not. The real deal is doing it the best you can do it and that's it. That's its own reward."
