Sonny Rollins in Carnegie Hall
In my contribution about this event I asked people to share their remembrances of one of these concerts with us. I received a great report of Michael Gilbreath I love to share with you.
Hans, you asked for comments from people who were present for Sonny's 50th Anniversary Carnegie Hall concert.
I was at Sonny's concert, and it was genuinely wonderful. During the trio portion at the beginning, Christian McBride "wowwed" the crowd with a terrific bass solo. And Roy Haynes, even at 82, was truly impressive. Sonny was wonderful too, but it seemed everyone pulled their own weight. Later, during the set with Sonny's touring band, Kimati Dinizulu played a mesmerizing solo that, at one point, got so very soft and quiet, that you could have "heard a pin drop" in Carnegie Hall - quite an amazing performance by Kimati.
Michael sent me a compilation of the photos he made during the reception prior to the concert of the 18th of September 2007 into a video. A lot of great names in jazz were present at this informal meeting. Enjoy it.

Mijn kleindochters en ik waren aanwezig op Sonny's concert, en het was echt geweldig. Tijdens het deel waarin Sonny Rollins optrad met het trio, ging er een siddering door de zaal bij de geweldige solo waarmee Christian McBride het concert opende. Zijn bassolo ontlokte een "wow" in de zaal. En Roy Haynes, toch ook al 82 jaar oud, was ook geweldig, net als Sonny overigens. Alle drie lieten ze horen dat ze, stuk voor stuk, meester zijn op hun instrument. Later, tijdens de set met zijn reguliere groep, speelde drummer Kimati Dinizulu een geweldige solo, zo zacht en relaxed, dat je een speld kon horen vallen in Carnegie Hall; wat een geweldige solo van Kimati.

Michael maakte een flink aantal foto's tijdens de receptie voorafgaand aan dit concert van 18 september 2007 in Carnegie Hall, New York en voegde die samen in een filmpje. Je komt er alle grote namen uit zijn verslag in tegen. Geniet er van !!
