<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Now in paperback: The first-ever biography of one of the legends of modern jazz, written with his full cooperation<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Sonny Rollins is one of jazz's great innovators, arguably the most influential tenor saxophonist, along with John Coltrane, in the history of modern jazz. He began his musical career at the age of eleven, and within five short years he was playing with the legendary Thelonious Monk. In the late forties, before his twenty-first birthday, Rollins was in full swing, recording with jazz luminaries such as Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Max Roach, Art Blakey, and Miles Davis, and he was hailed as the best jazz tenor man alive in the mid-fifties. Still active today, Rollins and his compelling sound reach a whole new generation of listeners with his eagerly anticipated live appearances. Now renowned jazz writer Eric Nisenson provides a long-overdue look at one of jazz's brightest, and most enduring, stars.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Eric Nisenson</b> is the author of several jazz books, including <i>The Making of Kind of Blue</i>. He lives in Malden, Massachusetts.
