Sonny Rollins Talks about Pres (Lester Young). I never got the chance to see Sonny Rollins in a live concert :-( He appeared almost every year in Paris and the date where advertised about a year in advance (usually one date only). In a couple of weeks it was already Sold Out. It was also very, very expensive. My rotten luck was that when there were tickets I couldnt afford them and when I could afford them they were no longer available. I should have opened a saving account especially for that objective :-) This snippet is from a 2013 interview with Sonny Rollins. It is part of a film in progress by Henry Ferrini called The President of Beauty:the Life and Times of Lester Young. If you like what you see and want more please go to lesterlives.wordpress.
