Here we have 2006, a fabulous crew, a receptive audience,
what more could you ask for? Sonny and the entire crew really cooks. I count my lucky stars that an artist of Sonny's caliber is still with us and can be this great.
I usually grumble about electric basses, but in this blazin' performance, it fits like a glove. Jazz is alive!

I will be brief and short regarding the review of this DVD.
To those who are searching for a great image quality this is definetly a great DVD to have because of the crisp image and sound quality. It lacks some content due to only a few songs, but the performance is woth watching for those who enjoy Sonny's improvisation skills.

Sonny Rollins is remarkable. He can still groove in his 80's. The entire group in fantastic. Just as impressive, was the size of the audience. The U.S.A. could never produce a crowd that size for a Jazz performance even though the music is America's. You figure it out!!!
