From his Meet the Fans Google Hangout, Sonny Rollins answers a question from Mike Casey. Sonny's new recording, Road Shows, vol. 3 here: smarturl.it/rs-road-vol3-dig
Reflecting on this...thank you so much Sonny! These lessons were not taken lightly. I've remained inspired by your words and of course your albums, particularly the trio records. Recently I released my debut live album, 'The Sound of Surprise: Live at The Side Door' with the trio format, and like you said, a few years (and many hours of practice, composition, and playing later), I can feel my voice beginning to shine through. THANK YOU.

Sonny's trio recordings are landmarks. This interview is fantastic. Thanks so much for this gem!
Practice, practice, practice!
