Hardbopjazz Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 Go figure. I would have guest the sound track from Alfie. At the State Department reception for the Kennedy Center Honors, December 3, 2011, while Yo-Yo Ma and Meryl Streep listen, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tells Sonny that "The Bridge" is her favorite recording.

BeBop Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 I was glad to hear Sonny getting some White House recognition. Fully deserved. Congratulations Sonny Rollins. I wish there'd been more jazz represented at the ceremony. Gotta take what you can get sometimes. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Posted December 5, 2011 I agree, there should be more jazz artists getting this recognition. Quote
GA Russell Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 Does Hillary like Mosaics too? Quote
BeBop Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 Seems like Jim Hall, Bob Cranshaw and Ben Riley would have been naturals, under the circumstances. Quote
paul secor Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 Neil Diamond was also honored. Hillary probably told him that "Sweet Caroline" was her favorite recording. Quote

JSngry Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) I'll bet she's heard Bill play it more than once over the years. I know my wife has heard it more than once over the years.. Edited December 5, 2011 by JSngry Quote
jlhoots Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 Much better than if it was Newt's or Mitt's favorite. Quote

bertrand Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 Don't forget that Bill Clinton's 3 favorite saxophonists are: Rollins, Kenny G. and Peter Brotzmann. Something for everyone! Bertrand. Quote
