Have you read Notes and Tones? 

He has a lot to say there as well.

That´s a great book  because it is a brilliant musician (Art Taylor) who had played with almost ALL of THEM, and the answers of the musicians. 
I think the Rollins Interview was very early after his I don´t know which of all of his comebacks.

Larry Tye, who has written several biographies, including ones on RFK and Joe McCarthy, which were well received, has written a relatively new one (May 2024) called The Jazzmen about Ellington, Armstrong and Basie.

He recently had an article in the NYT.

How a Refuge on Rails Inspired Jazz Classics

Has anyone read the book or thought about getting it?
