Playback with Lewis Porter: My 2007 Interview with Sonny Rollins

[Ken Dryden]

I was pleased when Lewis Porter asked me for a copy of my 2007 phone interview with Sonny Rollins during the summer, which was done to write a feature in Hot House promoting his 50th anniversary concert at Carnegie Hall. It was published today on his Playback with Lewis Porter Substack page, here is the link:

I asked Lewis if I could edit the interview, as phone interviews inevitably have gaffs that would be edited out of a transcription or radio broadcast, but he believes it is important to share the conversation as it happened, He also shared a link to my original Hot House article. 

The interview has never been broadcast or shared on line in any form.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Very nice Ken.
