Sonny Rollins' Solo on "Airegin"

This solo from saxophone colossus Sonny Rollins  is from Miles Davis' album "Bag's Groove". Airegin, a Rollins' original  is a 36 bar tune with an AB form (the A section is 20 bars long). 

Lots of great II V I ideas and plenty of use of the harmonic minor scale.
One of my favorite sax players of all time, and this solo shows you why.
