Sonny Rollins, talking with The New Yorker, on whether the tenor saxophonist Lester Young, known as Pres, would make a better president than the present occupant of the White House:
“Well, I don’t really know the present occupant personally, but I knew Lester Young personally, and I would go with Lester Young. His music speaks for itself, and he’s a human being whose personality, whose humanity, made his music what it was. A great musician, but also a great person.”Related reading
