For all the confidence and daring throughout his musical career,Sonny has always been humble and open.

Those Keynote recordings are gorgeous

[@tomasrevillacortazar6722]

His humbleness made him more of a genius that he already was. That's what sets the great ones apart from the wannabes. Thank you, Sonny! Up up up to the stars...

Lester Young is one of those cats who died way too soon.

[@GloucesterWriters]

I can hear the pathos in his sound on that last album Le Dernier Message de Lester Young but he said it plain in the Francois Postif interview that was recorded a few days earlier that I use from in the film when he talks about life in the USA and said, "I can't stand the bullshit." 49 years was all the man could take. RIP Prez - your music is with us.
