"Sonny Rollins Is a Work-in-Progress" is the first entry in a new bi-weekly video blog from the Jazz Video Guy, Bret Primack. Celebrating two new releases by the Saxophone Colossus, “Road Shows, Vol. 1," and “In Vienne," the initial video blog entry features exclusive video of Mr. Rollins and Roy Haynes during the rehearsal for Rollins's celebrated 50th Anniversary Carnegie Hall concert in September 2007.

“My blog provides a backstage pass into the world of Jazz," explains Primack, who has posted over three hundred Jazz videos online on his YouTube channel. “Each new video blog entry is a fully realized production with interviews and performance footage. I'm certain these short films will be of continuing interest to our global Jazz community, but I've also conceived them to introduce the joy of this music and its creators to new audiences, as well. There are literally millions of people seeking compelling web video, every day."

Primack's distinguished career as a Jazz journalist, web warrior and video producer includes working relationships with such artists as Sonny Rollins, Joe Lovano and Billy Taylor. The ability to create dynamic video content with an insider's perspective accounts for the Jazz Video Guy's nearly four million video views and podcast downloads to date. “The number of people watching Jazz video on the web continues to ascend," Primack reports, “with 10,000 Jazz Video Guy views and downloads happening daily. The comprehensive tracking data I get from YouTube reveals that these viewers come from all over the planet because Jazz is truly a global medium."
