Serious, funny, wise, humble. All phases of his career are groundbreaking and influential.

'Right. Right. Right. Right. It was great." Priceless, and still cool.

[@Navroze]

Thank you for posting this most historical interview

[@kobush18]

Great interview and great personality and interesting person.

Nice. Thank you for the interview and how Sonny was so sincere with the answers to such intense, complex questions.

I'm looking forward to studying A.B.Spellman's publications. Thank you for listing them.

[@AlexRossiharmonica]

Great, Thankyou for that one, i always look for your videos.

Sonny may have slowed down by the time of this interview or maybe he's just tired but just a few years earlier he was sharp as a pin.
Dude is one of the few musicians I think you can call a "great person."

[@JazzVideoGuy]

He's one of a kind, that's for sure.

[@vbassone]

That sure sounds like guitarist Russell Malone's voice asking Sonny the question about his use of guitar in his current and recent groups at approximately 36:35.........

[@dylanmenzies3973]

So much wisdom.. almost too much

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Watch it a little bit at a time.
