    1. Also IAF about solitary saxophone practice:

      *”In the summer of 1959, saxophonist* [*Sonny Rollins*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Rollins) *disappeared from the jazz scene. He was 28 years old and at the height of his career. He would not record or perform publicly for almost 3 years, a virtual eternity for a jazz musician. Instead, Rollins took it to the bridge: he would practice, typically alone, up to 16 hours a day on the pedestrian walkway of New York’s Williamsburg Bridge, not far from his home on the Lower East Side. Rollins has* [*said*](https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/26/magazine/sax-and-sky.html) *of the experience: “Playing against the sky really does improve your volume, and your wind capacity. I could have just stayed up there forever.*”
