The notebooks of Sonny Rollins / edited by Sam V.H. Reese. by Rollins, Sonny, author. New York : New York Review Books, [2024] Subjects Rollins, Sonny -- Notebooks, sketchbooks, etc. ISBN:  9781681378268 (paperback) : 1681378264 (paperback) : Description:  xxi, 152 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm Requests:  2 Summary:  "Sonny Rollins is one of the towering masters of American music, a virtuoso of the saxophone and an unequaled improviser whose live performances are legendary and who reshaped modern jazz time and time again over the course of a career lasting more than sixty years. A turning point in that legendary career came in 1959, when Rollins stepped back from performing and recording to begin a new regime of musical exploration, which saw him practicing for hours, sometimes all through the night, on the Williamsburg Bridge. This was also the moment when he started the notebook that would become a trusted companion in years to come--not a diary so much as a place to ponder art and life and his own search for meaning in words and in images. At once quotidian and aphoristic, the notebooks mingle lists of chores and rehearsal routines with ruminations on nightclub culture, racism, and the conundrums of the inner life. And always there is the music--questions of embouchure, fingering, and technique; of harmony and dissonance; of his own and others--art and the art of jazz. Any definition, Rollins insists, which seeks to separate Johann Sebastian Bach from Miles Davis is defeating its own purpose of clarification. . . .The Musings of Miles is then the Bouncing of Bach both played against each other. is then the bouncing of Bach both played against each other." Edited and introduced by the critic and jazz scholar Sam V.H. Reese, The Notebooks of Sonny Rollins provides an unequaled glimpse into the mind and workshop of a musical titan, as well as a wealth of insight and inspiration to readers."-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 788.7165 Ro Transit Request Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList
