Bill Evans, New York, 1961

Sonny Rollins: ‘These pictures are very emotional for me.

They take me back to a time when everything was

 you could say, “copasetic”.

Elvin Jones is smiling.

All these guys: Ron Carter, Miles, Red Garland.

I mean, these pictures take me back into a time

which will never be like that again.

Everybody was working.

Everybody was contributing.

Everybody was being appreciated.

Jazz was appreciated.

Of course,

many of these guys aren’t here any more,

and that’s emotional for me, too’.

‘It’ll never be like that again’:

Sonny Rollins and Steve Schapiro on jazz’s golden age – in pictures

Schapiro’s stunning images of jazz greats in New York

– from Dizzy Gillespie to Elvin Jones –

make up a new book featuring a foreword by late saxophone icon Rollins
