Quoted from the "DownBeat Magazine - 2010/12"
Introduction by Ed Enright:
"Sonny Rollins didn't have a lot of time to chat this summer. He was occupied─performing on tour with his working band and planning his 80th birthday concert celebration, which took place Sept. 10 at New York's Beacon Theatre.
We wanted to make sure DownBeat got a word in with Rollins well in advance of his big day, which writer Jim Macnie covers in fine detail beginning on page 24 of this issue. So, DownBeat publisher Frank Alkyer and I came up with a list of questions, which we exchanged with Rollins via email in early August. His responses were short, sweet and 100-percent genuine Newk."
