Ken Dryden Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 I am saluting Sonny Rollins' 90th Birthday with a special edition of Timeless Jazz this Sunday from 3 to 5pm EDT, webcast at wutc.org. Included will be some excerpts of a phone interview that I did with him in August 2007 for a Hot House feature. Since there is so much great music, I will probably extend it into the following week's program as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
