Unwikified, more an essay than an encyclopedia article. Appears to be a legitimate topic, but has been already deleted once. - Mike Rosoft 20:15, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

As said by Mike Rosoft - isn't this a bit more of an opinion than an encyclopedia article? Especially this:

'When we, the inheritors of this music look back through the years, we are fortunate to have been left with so much good music by this great man. Sadly and greatly overlooked, Rollini made huge contributions to the jazz world- being one of the first white musicians to record with black musicians, to go one better and invent instruments, as well as being one of the first saxophonists to really swing. Above all, Adrian Rollini left us with a memorable sound. His playing was inventive, always showing wit and excitement. Upon hearing these records, one immediately hears the joy and pride he took in his craft which transfers positively to the listener, and speaks to us with joy and exuberance. As Tony Watts would say in his 1995 liner notes to the CD, 'Adrian Rollini- Bouncin' in Rhythm,' "Adrian Rollini's music always seemed to have a smile on its face." Listen, won't you?' - Dan (86.134.27.82) 01:37, 20 November 2006
