. . .this is my dilemma. I’m a guy who makes things up as I go along so nothing is ever finished–there are so many layers. So when you solo, yeah, you might get into one thing, but then, hey, everything has implications! You can hear the next level. And that’s how I feel about improvising–there’s always another level. –Sonny Rollins
Interesting New York Times piece on Rollins from the other day. It’s about his reorganizing his business affairs after the death of his wife, who had managed all of that.
