    Sonny nailed his feelings about all three of these presidents. I'll never forget my two minutes speaking with Sonny. It's burned in my memory.

    Sonny Rollins is SO GREAT that even the worst presidents are able to recognize his fantastic talent. Of course we're grateful for any video of Sonny Rollins. Thank you.

    I very much like Sonny Rollins describing meeting Presidents. All about encounter, reading the scene, reading the the other. What a Jazzman.

    Sonny one of the greatest improvisers ever along with Satchmo, Bird, Monk, Bud and Trane. Probably Mr. Tenor forever!!!

    Wikipedia: In February 2023, Rollins sold his music catalogue to Reservoir Media

      Love Sonny Rollins, my hero. Good move by Sonny, RM's overall catalogue and licensing is ever-expanding, along with competitor Sony. It's one of the final stages in a musicians career: sell the catalogue for big bucks, to someone who will lovingly watch over it into the far future and definitely make $$$.
