I read this this other day. Wonderful story.

I decided to play the piano again after 15 years away from the instrument. Some store, name not mentioned pulled out a fake book and said would I was interested? Do anyone here use fake books? I used to be able to play by just hearing the tune played and never really needed sheet music.

Can anyone possibility help with this? Some of the keys the notes loose their sound but eventually come back while playing the organ. Any idea what needs to be fixed or replaced? It was built in 1974 with no work ever done to the organ.

Wow, all these photos are great. Thanks for share them with us.

I think about the Boris Rose collection of recordings. With thefew recordings that copies were made of, the rest never made it out to th public. Legal issue prevent his recordings from being released. I'm afraid we may have the same issue once again; which just sucks.

Harold Land left because his wife was giving birth to their first kid. He ended up going to California. Sonny was playing in Chicago and Max asked if he would join the band. On youtube there is a video clip where Sonny talks about joining Clifford Brown and Max Roach Quintet.

Many more Wayne.

Someone who claimed to know who the two guests are gave me this hint. "Think Miles Davis." All I can sum up from that is, musicians that played with Miles. There is no way it could be Miles.

I'm going with Shorter and Hancock.

James Moody was supposed to play the Blue Note this week, but instead was in the hospital having surgery. The band played without him and asked for fans to have good thoughts. I don't know exactly what surgery Moody underwent, but someone in his 80s, we can only hope he’ll bounce back. Get well Moody!!!!

I asked Russell Malone and he didn't even know. Well she is from the Caribbean so it may be since Sonny's roots go back to the American Virgin Islands.

Less than 4 thousand post to 1 million. I say the person that posts that magical number has to buy all the rest of us a beer.

I guess no one was able to watch the video and figure out who those two musicians are from their silhouettes. Number 1 looks like Herbie Hancock. Number 2 has a very distinct hair line but I can't put a face on the silhouette.

The concert is on Friday September 10, 2010. Sonny has a number of guests with him which have announced, but there are two mystery guests. Anyone have a guess as to who these two mystery musicians could be? Russell Malone is now in Rollins' band. I did ask Russell when I saw him playing with Ron Carter this month. He said he didn't know himself. Anyway, I will find out the night of the concert. The guests announced are Jim Hall, Roy Hargrove, and Christian McBrride. Maybe the ghost of Coleman Hawkins is one of the mystery musicians. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fho4oTU7T9Q&feature=digest

I keep listening to the audio samples and I am getting so excited. It feels like when you were a kid and saw those Christmas presents under the tree with your name, but you can't touch them yet; just out of reach. Does anyone know if any of the restored discs can be listened to at the museum? I will venture uptown to give a listen.

I'm already placing my pre-order. Never too early. Hopefully Mosaic will put this out one day.

The best of luck to the three of you.

I am willing to spend around 250 to 300 dollars. WiFi would be a nice feature.

So Sonny was demanding more for admission then most acts.

I am looking to buy one so I can listen to stations that I can't get in NY. Internet radios will basically allow you to listen to any station around the world that broadcast over the Internet. Some hook up to your existing stereo equipment. But there are some many. Does anyone here have one? If so, which one do you have? Sure you can just go to the web site but I want one so when I am not on my computer I can listen. http://www.nextag.com/internet-radio-players/search-html

So the artist playing at the club really didn't dictate the cost?

The best of luck.

I was speaking with someone last at at the Vanguard who saw Sonny Rollins at Ronnie Scott's in 1974. The price of his ticket was 5 pounds. To me that sounds very inexpensive but then again this was 1974. Would anyone know if this was what ticket prices were going for to see a show at Ronnie Scott's?

RIP Abbey Playing her album "That's Him" with Sonny Rollins, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chamber and Max Roach. A great record.
