Wat Miles voor mij betekent op trompet,betekent Sonny voor mij op tenorsax.

9:46... that note sums up the reason I love Sonny so much. Every musician longs to play a note like that. They work they're whole life at it.

Thanks to JazzVideoGuy for these fascinating interviews of Sonny Rollins. As far as know, there is not any footage of Sonny Rollins in1967, and just a handful of performances in 1968. I would love to see Sonny interviewed about that period, and what was he doing between 1967 and 1970. Was he happy with his playing in 1968? Was this sabbatical he took at that time due to personal or musical reasons?

@seulbzzaj Music and personal reasons for the sabbatical. Sonny is very critical of his own music, and during this time, he wasn't totally happy with what he was doing. Also, this was the period when he spent time in both Japan and India, in an ashram, working on his spiritual side.
