Summary

Jackie McLean and Sonny Rollins take the same starting point of the early 1950s Miles Davis band, but then follow their stories through independently. Jackie talks of Richie Powell and the Cilfford Brown / Max Roach Band in which Sonny later played. Sonny reflects on a myriad of different ideas, from Elmo Hope and Ernie Henry to Pete LaRoca and Henry Grimes, looking in detail at his trios. Considering social protest, Sonny leads in to discussions with Abbey Lincoln about the era of We Insist! Freedom Now. Rollins then follows his career path through to the 2000s.
