Visual arts is becoming distant in the music world. Videos used to be an event. It used to tell a story. We used to get music and cinema

During a hiatus from recording music, Rollins was spotted at the Williamsburg Bridge almost every day, no matter the season, practicing his saxophone. This experience inspired him to create an album titled 'The Bridge,' released in 1962.

Here's a thread about Sonny Rollins' connection to the Williamsburg Bridge. 🧵

I put these two clips of Daddy together because I want to share him saying “I’m tired of marching,” then, after continuing the multifaceted work of nonviolence, saying “I’ve been to the mountaintop.”

The 2nd clip is from the speech he gave the night before he was assassinated.
