That is Jazz


I heard an interview with Jazz great Sonny Rollins this morning. He talked about how "every sunset is different - that is jazz." Yes, indeed. At one time, Sonny unplugged from the music scene, and he played his saxophone on the Williamsburg Bridge in NY. He did this for a couple of years. What an amazing image. It stuck a chord with me this morning, I too have a fondness for bridges - my particular love - the Brooklyn Bridge. Anyway, I think it's great, one of the best musicians in the human kingdom, blowing his sax to the four winds. Sonny (the old Lion) in his seventies and still going strong. Now THAT IS JAZZ!
