A lot of hanky-panky. In fact, a lot more hanky-panky than most of us can imagine.

1. The life of Sonny Rollins
2. The unprecedented way Sonny documented his life…including among other things EVERY practice session throughout his long career
3. The new biography of Sonny by Aidan Levy which gathers the superabundance of Rollins material into a fascinating page turner that goes deep into the creative life of one of the music’s grand masters.
A must for Sonny Rollins fans, musicians, jazz lovers, and everyone interested in the creative process.
