@JazzVideoGuy I wish I could have the chance to meet Mr. Sonny Rollins. I've been to a few of his concerts... But I've never been able to see him.. How is it possible for him to do autographs e.c.t?

[JazzVideoGuy]

@vandoren59 He sometimes signs autographs after his concerts, for people who wait at the stage door. But not all the time, and usually not until at least 90 minutes after the concert.

There is nothing like seeing the actual people talking about each other. There will never be again the likes of Sonny, Trane, Miles, Heath, on and on. We can only admire from our perspective and try to emulate.

sooooooooo...who's better?

[saxjamin]

Jimmy put it best that "when you look into a garden, you see lots of beautiful flowers", but unfortunately most people still won't get it, because they are not artists, they generally know nothing about the creative mind and creative process, and they have to be told who's the best by so-called "experts". Anyone can tell who is more proficient on a particular instrument, but past a certain point of technical ability and creativity, the only thing left is the listener's subjective opinion.

Awesome, but is anyone else annoyed by the narrator's pronunciation of the word 'saxophonist'?

@MrPvenb
