Finally tonight, remembering one of jazz music's all-time grades, Sonny Rollins died yesterday after more than five decades pushing the boundaries of the genre.

One of the best jazz musicians of his time, Rollins won two Grammys and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in the early 2000s.

He toured well into his 80s and died at his home in Woodstock, New York,

after years of health issues. Senior arts correspondent Jeffrey Brown has a look back at the life

and impact of Sonny Rollins. Sunny Rollins often said he was always a work in progress.

And that work, as the world got to hear, was as prolific as it was varied.

He spent almost seven decades recording more than 60 studio and live albums, relentlessly experimenting and honing his craft.

He received numerous rewards in his lifetime, including a 2011 Kennedy Center honors.

And ahead of that, he talked to us about his life and work.

So I was just immersed in it from the beginning, really.

Rollins was born in Harlem in 1930 to a musical family.

He received his first saxophone at 11 and was largely self-taught.

When my mother brought me the second hand out of saxophone,

I went into the bedroom, you know, and I just started playing.

I mean, I don't know what I was doing, but I was in a zone. I was already doing something.

In fact, Rollins was a sensation even as a teenager.

He performed and recorded with leading players of the day.

His first album as band leader came in 1951 and many more followed.

Playing with those great people like Charlie Parker, the Lone You Smart Miles Davis

and all those giants.

I wasn't afraid because I felt that I belonged there.

You felt you were, you belonged with them.
