Sonny Rollins, one of the world's greatest living jazz musicians, and a revered sage-like figure, has, during his lifetime, embraced spirituality, meditation and esoteric forms of yoga, Buddhism, Ancient Egyptian magic, Rosicrucianism, and other mystical religions and practices. Journalist Hugh Wyatt's engrossing biography offers a unique glimpse into the psyche of one of the most reclusive and "far out" figures in modern music. It is a tell-all that reveals intimate and little-known details of Sonny's fascinating life--including his tumultuous love affairs--as told to the author by anonymous sources, family members, close friends, and the jazz giant himself.
