I'll check it out, but I get my info directly from Sonny, who tells a somewhat different tale. It's been experience, over the years, that writers don't always have all the facks, though.

AlainGerber is a French Critic who wrote a book about john coltrane "Le Cas Coltrane". Very intersesting and instructive.. Yes Sonny and Trane were great friends for a moment... But in the book there is a long chapter about Sonny/John relationship.. According to sonny when He played with his trio, he played in this kinda group because there was no pianist he would have liked to play with but Mc Coy Tyner... Coltrane had yet taken him... That's an example. Read the book if you wanna learn more.

According to Sonny, they were friends. Very good friends. who is Alain Gerber?

a little problem... According to Alain Gerber, and I think he is right, John And Sonny were not really friends ! Rollins was jealous of Coltrane for a moment... And Coltrane considered sonny as a mentor AND as a musical "ennemy"...
