A lot of hanky-panky. In fact, a lot more hanky-panky than most of us can imagine.
That’s where Dale Cockrell comes in.
He helps us visualize the pre-1917 sex-crazed world of “dives” and “black and tans” fueled by live music.

Lots of surprises here including the unlikely birthplace of the man who taught Louis Armstrong how to read music and run a band. (Hint: Not New Orleans.)

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.
