The Back Page: Peter Bernstein and Sonny Rollins

Peter Bernstein plays with the legendary Sonny Rollins at the Monterey Jazz Festival 2011

“Playing with Sonny was incredible as I was trying to find the space between bassist Bob Cranshaw beautifully laying it down and the unbelievably audacious things Sonny would play. His imagination was amazing. He has total freedom and the conviction to express it. My ears would be buzzing from what he played and my cheeks sore from smiling!” – Peter Bernstein
