Project Thank Yous
Sonny Rollins primarily played solo on the Bridge, but from time to time he brought other friends to play with him. In that same spirit, this project has not been a solo outing; at times it has functioned as a duo, trio, quartet, octet, or a mighty orchestra. Members of the orchestra include:

Dedication
This project is offered with love and gratitude for Walter Theodore “Sonny” Rollins. Jazz has contributed so much to our life and this project is one attempt to give back: to say thank you to jazz, in general, and to Sonny Rollins, in particular, for being such forces for good in a world that needs more goodness. This project is also in memory of Noah Baum.
