Sonny Rollins said he wasn’t giving his best stuff on Tenor Madness (the title track only; not the entire album). Ironically, he says it was because he was playing with Coltrane whom he didn’t respect yet. It was in 56 which turned out to be a great year for Coltrane and playing on the Rollins classic was definitely a highlight.

Quote:

I wasn’t really playing. Coltrane was playing. I was only playing halfway, because I thought that I was the guy and that Coltrane was this young whippersnapper. That was my mind-set.

I'm just picturing him taking a bite of toast before giving an off camera henchman the order to gun down his enemies in a tense negotiation scene.

Tonight I learned... how to cut on a manual lathe. I had to make two parts, both to a certain size. So I learned how to set the zero on the dial and touch off on my part, then measure and cut off pieces. I did 10 thousandths at a time and it only took around an hour to do two parts. Then made a part on the CNC machine but that was just button pushing lol

got a 92 on the milling quiz and 96 on the turning quiz....

Thanks, it honestly was fun trying to get the parts into tolerance. The instructor helped and basically just showed me what to do and then I did it. I was shocked I did it actually.
