5.0 out of 5 stars Sonny Rollins in Copenhagen 1965, March 27, 2009

This review is from: Jazz Icons: Sonny Rollins - Live in '65 & '68 (DVD)

I was present at the concert, and I have never heard Rollins better. The concert has been broadcast by the danish state radio, I taped it, and later burned it on cd, so I know every note. Many jazzpeople has tried to get the concert issued, but Rollins' wife would not allow it, no explanation why, so this dvd is a scoop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Sonny Rollins, December 27, 2008

This review is from: Jazz Icons: Sonny Rollins - Live in '65 & '68 (DVD)

These are landmark sessions in a very great career. In maturity, Rollins became, like Monk, a unique. His phrasing is always his own and he parses not simply the chords, but the songs themselves, which ar never lost. This is work by a master, bursting with originality and energy, and sometimes wit.

This review is from: Jazz Icons: Sonny Rollins - Live in '65 & '68 (DVD)

'61-'68 Sonny is imaginative, in-and-out jazz saxophone playing at its absolute best, and I would do horrible, unspeakable things to have actually attended one of his gigs during this period. Thank God for this DVD for getting me so much closer!

The trio hook-up with Alan Dawson and NHOP is otherworldly!! The sound quality of both sets, the '65 trio and '68 quartet, is fantastic. This amazing music will improve your life.
