Love Letters to Sonny

Sonny Rollins has touched our souls and made an indelible mark on the world of jazz and the universal language of music.

Using his birthday on September 7 as a perfect excuse, we are inviting the world to tell Sonny how much we love him.

Whether it’s a few sentences or even a story, we are creating a space for you to speak from your heart to express your appreciation to Sonny and what he has meant in your life.

Use the hashtag #loveletterstosonny and tag JFA on:

Twitter @jazzfoundation
Instagram @jazzfoundationofamerica
Facebook  facebook.com/jazzfoundationofamerica/

Or email us with a message, photo, or even a pic of a handwritten letter at loveletterstosonny@jazzfoundation.org.

#loveletterstosonny are still rolling in after his birthday this past weekend! Here’s a great one from the wonderful @_MattWhitaker. @sonnyrollins pic.twitter.com/mmD65yb2Ht
