I was the pianist at the Mars Club in Paris,Art Simmons & I, and Bud was across the street at Ben Benjamin's Blue Note with Klook and Oscar Pettiford. Man, every hour break I had, I ran across to listen to Bud. What a schooling that was! Tatum & Bud! Who else? Stuart de Silva. Now retired, living in Sydney,Oz, but still listening to Bud.

yeah fair enough... Sonny is very articulate. I was wrong and foolish, i'm wiser now!

He is a musician not a fucking tv/radio presenter.....his presence is the insight no matter what he says.

Wonderful to hear those memories of Bud : ))

I clearly understood everything the man said. He is very articulate and we are blessed to have him still with us. Respect due!

He's telling a story. The way he tells the story is the charm. It inspires me.

Sonny rules!! Listen and learn. That is all.

the reasons they do it is: 1. they are out of touch with their own true best selves so they talk like idiots; 2. they are so insecure that they are trying to prove their own value to themselves and the only way they know how to do it is to bring down somebody of substance and depth, thereby blinding themselves to this man's warmth, sincerity and greatness; 3. his talking is fascinating and shows him to be a fine man.

he's only in his 70's
my grandpa is in his 80's and he's still pretty alert like sonny rollins
why are you idiots disrespecting such a great musical giant. What has any of you did that makes you so much smarter or better than him.
He gets his point across very well. If you want to know the history of this music ,he is a living source. He was there and helped create this music. You idiot so called intellectuals.
