    • Cage isn't going away. Trying to wish him away won't disappear him, it disappears the wisher!
    • Ok, one last comment about Sonny - what I like most about his later work is the physical aspect of it. It seems to me like he began to adapt a method of creating/sustaining his airflow that was more "tied in" to his yoga breathing. Nowhere near as easy as it might sound! But what that would do would be to get him to a more "clear" state to where when - when - the higher inspirations came, they can flow through to the horn less impeded, and ultimately unimpeded. So on a track like the one included here, I get a very tangible, 3D sense of an energy wave, a "straight line"of a BODY of a sound, straight through. It's a wave that you can get on and ride. I get that a lot of people either don't like or otherwise don't appreciate this way that Sonny played past a certain point. Fair enough. But it's not any kind of a failure of anything having to do with his playing. His actual playing continue to grow and evolve. Where there was a "problem" it wasn't as much in his playing as it was in the way(s) he made records.  So I still owe the board that Rollins Milestone overview, because there is a LOT of variance there, and to my perception, it's all traceable to that physical thing. When he's on, when he's middling, or when he's actually "bad", it all comes down to flow, and in Sonny's, seemingly more than anybody else, that's begins but does not end with the physical. Nobody else played like that. Nobody else sounded like that. And that's not accidental or coincidental.
