Sonny Rollins on Q TV

[@haroldsmith7044]

It's amazing to think that today, Feb 10, 2022, we still have living among us one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. My God - what a fantastic person to interview!

[@jbmyerov]

What a terrific interview and what an extraordinary man Sonny Rollins is.

[@TwentyTwenty90]

One the last remaining giants of Jazz, a true visionary and gentleman. I am so glad he is still vital and here with us today.

[@postatility9703]

Great interview of a truly great man.Sonny is very spiritual, but as down to earth as anybody.

[@horbergus]

It's certainly not popular, but if you ask me, jazz is thee art form. Everyone improvises trough the whole song, everyone expresses their feelings and thoughts in a package of sweet rhythm and musical complexity that you really can get lost in, it's just fantastic

[@magoulianitissa]

I really enjoyed this wonderful interview with Sonny Rollins! Thank you.

[@vbassone]

Master of masters!!!

[@rbsprods3200]

A fantastic skillful and informed interview from Studio Q. I''ve been reading about Sonny Rollins and hearing his interviews for 6 decades and this is the deepest dive, so far, into his musical approach. Thank you, so much.

[@AndersChanTidemann]

Thank you SO much for one of the best interviews I've ever seen of one of our greatest treasures!

[@santih5043]

This was such a terrific interview. The questions were intelligent and it seemed that Sonny was really enjoying himself.

[@Nina513]

This interview is so insightful and such a blessing... Sonny is a true legend, much love and respect to him...

[@mobetter3672]

Pure wisdom in each word.....truly a legend, giant, and genuine brother....God bless Sonny Rollins!

[@Sisudio]

Rollins is a great soul. I must add that I don't know this interviewer, but he is EXEMPLARY. Excellent questions and give and take.

[@RamblinroseInfo]

A Humble and Sweet Master!

[@ethanlander4252]

I just love listening to him so much… What a guy

[@DarkeningSkies1]

One of the last of the giants. Total respect, and great interview Jian.

[@charlesota1385]

What a special treat to hear Sonny Rollins talk about his thoughts at this stage in his life. Thank you! Charlie O.

[@MattSmith-iq1ld]

God bless you Sonny. I last saw you for the last time in the early 90's. One of the nicest men in the whole music industry. I was so happy to find out of your friendship with my favorite pop/R&B artist, Donald Fagen of Steely Dan, and how he always calls you and sees if you ever need anything. Donald staged a benefit for Sonny who he identified as his all time favorite musician. I still LOVE how on Donald's first solo album "The Nightfly" there is a pic of the highly underrated record "Sonny Rollins and the Contemporary Leaders." Sonny was the guy who really got me into jazz. It was complex, individual jazz, but somehow accessible to a young person coming into the jazz world. Whenever I see a musically interested kid, I always introduce them to Sonny first.

[@drewcarbajal680]

Sonny is such a guiding light. Of all the great masters, he is the one who most helps me make sense of this life.

[@lpsling]

Good interviewer. Sonny has been the soundtrack of my life and my own attempts at music. There is no greater improviser, and with his words, provides a spiritual map for an improvising musician. His music is so fresh, visionary and energetic, his sense of time so revolutionary, his harmonic senses so unexpected and so beautiful. Years ago when I was hearing Sonny live in LA, he played so much I had to go in the rest room and just scream. Thanks Sonny !

[@MrBassflute]

Fantastic interview, and thanks to Sonny Rollins for a lifetime of great music...one of the best ever!

[@beeeastmaster]

Rollins = legend

[@rjayzone]

This is great stuff. Sonny is so much more than a jazz musician. He's a seeker and a finder. The interviewer also deserves credit for his insightful questions.There's a lot of wisdom to digest.

[@KristianGemini]

Sonny Rollins is definitely the most talented most intense musician to ever be on Q TV,thank you so much for the interview!

[@amacallan9]

So great to hear a thoughtful interview with a truly important artist...thank you. My only issue: it was too short!

[@jregehr88]

That was one of the most intimate interviews i've ever seen with a true artist such as Sonny Rollins fantastic job

[@92ninersboy]

Sonny said it, "thank you for such a deep and insightful interview". It really was . . . I was enthralled and impressed.

[@Solvi27]

Great interview!

[@ticketstoxenon]

Wow, his insight and spirituality inspired me so much. I only knew his sound before this. Thank you for posting this amazing interview.

[@JohnsundDk]

Just absolutely great!!!!

[@postatility]

Sonny's analysis of the drug/artist situation was quite honest and accurate.He is such a giant influence and talent,and,at the same time,such a wonderful,humble,humorous man. Great job!!

[@JC-oz6xn]

On the sonny side of the sreet, Sonny Rollins will never end!

[@alspageddi]

great interview. thanks a lot!

[@thelonious1234]

Bless you Sonny.

[@kunstssst]

Good stuff Jian. Like how you drop all the puff and get straight to it, could tell Sonny appreciated it. Also loved how you handled Massive Attack so well.

[@arikcarlo]

Excellent interview conducted by a superb interviewer, Jian Ghomeshi. A true but inevitable tragedy that his CBC career ended.

[@RanBlakePiano]

Phil Mader How did this happen ?

[@canadianmaple09]

Yep, you're onto me, you've summed me up completely. Hockey fights is all I enjoy. I live for them. That's all I'm about.

[@rickdavenport9538]

Hellava introduction.

[@hardyblues2194]

why not more views? That interview is gold!

[@mannersification]

coolest dude on earth, sonny is !

[@teacawksinthehouse]

WONDERFUL INTERVIEW - GREAT SUBJECT - ROLLINS SHOULD BE FEATURED ON MAJOR TV NETWORKS - DAVE LETTERMAN; PIERSE FROM CNN, ETC. THANKS MR. Q-TV.

[@doko73]

beautiful

[@LorentzYeung]

thx for the up!

[@NYCBG]

This guy (the interviewer) is really good. Kudos, man!

[@horbergus]

Love his stone face while the reporter is listing his achievements

[@_s0lko_]

really GREAT MAN

[@Tigerbayboy]

Fantastic interview. Great job Jian. :-)

[@TheAndrewGorny]

man, I love this youtube channel. You've got GREAT taste in your interviewers. I bet if Duke rose from the dead despite the years passed since his popularity you'd interview him and educate ppl on WHO IS WHO

[@somedayillfindyou]

When this aired, I don't remember the little story about W.E.B. Du Bois being a part of the broadcast. Pity Jian didn't ask a follow-up question, because it's amazing to think Sonny actually knew Du Bois (one of the most important intellectuals of the early 20th century) personally.

[@TheAndrewGorny]

and in almost every case they are light years ahead of their pop equivalents.

[@kirsyrosa2595]

Sonny Boy welcomes Mom

[@omoelenia]

Amazing interview, even the great subject was appreciative. I only wish Jian asked about his relationship with Monk.

[@HectorGallegosmusic]

It's funny how our(lovers of jazz) heroes like Sonny Rollins and other jazz musicians are very accessible. There won't be heavy security or anything ridiculous like that and you have good chances of having a little chat with them at some point in time..... Whereas being a fan of a pop star....chances are you'll never get to meet them, much less chat with them.

[@WRyanUSA]

That is rather ironic because they have much more to teach which should make them more profitable!

[@inspir.edmusic]

Yeah, we do.

[@rdnzl7878]

this should get a few million views, not that fake billy noname bob guy

[@bsshh]

TRUE BLACK GENIUS!!! PROPHET SONNY ROLLINS!

[@Ted_DiSanti]

"sex is a perfect experience, but sax is better" I'm getting that made into a framed quote for my house.

[@theratkingz]

sweeet

[@eliottmorst]

His comments on drugs with music is spot on

[@PLERF]

I liked your questions and not reacting to his comments about altered states and creativity as being politically incorrect. i know Dizzy Gillespie liked his cannabis as did Louis Armstrong and they were no worse for wear.

[@simbeau]

@canadianmaple09 yes, we do.

[@kunstssst]

I think Sonny would refuse major TV networks and rightfully so.

[@horbergus]

Really good interview, can't help to compare it to the guy who interviewed miles davis and asked "are you ani-white?" what stupidity compared to this intimate and intelligent interview.

[@pencert]

Everybody loves Jian, except Billy Bob Thornton.

[@demetriucsnightshadeonyout877]

free jazzy

[@Solar55]

:O !!

[@gitanizima02]

#Musicians

[@beeeastmaster]

you can tell a man by his shoes, c'mon interviewer jeans and white pumas?

[@Velcera]

Oh man, listen to jazz. trust me.

[@ilpezkato]

Last of his kind...

[@crushsatan]

good interview; but Sonny, do you still care about "sexual pleasure"? I would not have the balls to ask him that, but I wonder.

[@canadianmaple09]

Never heard of him. Does anyone even listen to jazz anymore?
