Heh. Apparently Berton anonymized Rollins by using a pseudonym "Buster Jones".

I do have a page from the 2015 April 26 New York Times Magazine though, with a short sketch by Rollins himself (it's part of series of articles on walks taken in New York City).

If I've done it correctly, here's a gift link:

We have lost Sonny Rollins, a giant in jazz performance and composition.

Oddly enough, I first heard of Sonny Rollins through a TV commercial, before I even began listening to jazz regularly.

Flashback

Riding a J train this morning over _the_ Williamsburg bridge. Oh the feels!

ɕ

Crossing the Williamsburg Bridge

Having carefully examined every inch of the pedestrian pathway on the Williamsburg Bridge, I can authoritatively state that it is in fact, VERY long. When I stood up after 2,000 meters of quadrapedie-movement, I could hardly believe it was over! Two kilometers turned out to be possible!

The entire bit of madness started after I mentioned to several people I might be heading into NYC/Brooklyn on a particular weekend in October. Unfortunately, my plans changed and I forgot to tell Jesse.

As the weekend approached, he sent me a message, “I’ve been thinking of some good physical challenges for when you’re here…” I was just thinking, “Oops, I forgot to tell him I’m not coming into the city that weekend.” When he followed with an upbeat, “Let’s QM across the Williamsburg Bridge on Saturday!”

Now in my defense, I was feeling a little guilty that he had spent time thinking about a visit that I had to abort, and my train of thought went off the rails like this:

The problem with my schedule is that I need to be home by about 3pm on Saturday…
…actually, that gives me until about 1pm to do some QM in the city on Saturday…
…so if I went in Friday, and if we started early enough…
…sure, a little QM in the morning would be fun…
…and October’s weather has been so beautiful…

“Ok, sure! I’m in. Let’s do it!”

…and then I looked up the Williamsburg Bridge on Wikipedia, learned it was 2,200 meters long, and thought, “I have made a terrible mistake.”
