Jazz Icons: Series 3 Box Set (8 DVDs)

Sonny Rollins, Cannonball Adderley

NAXOS OF AMERICA DVD, 2008

Get it
As I said on another review of a Jazz Icons disc, buy this set. This is such a great value. If you are a jazz fan, and don't own any of the Jazz Icon series, I urge you to purchase all of these box sets. This is a huge deal. These sessions range from grainy black and white to rich color, but all of the performances are so great one can overlook this, if you love this music as much as I do. ...

Sonny Rollins, Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen

NAXOS OF AMERICA DVD, 2008

Classic Sonny Rollins
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.

Winstar, 1999

Sonny's playing makes up for some poor cinematic technique.
This 101 minute performance and documentary is taken from material mostly from 1986 (although there is a short clip from Sonny's "Jazz Casuals" appearance in the early 1960s). It features two very different performances: Sonny's working quintet and a special performance with an orchestra in Japan, "Concerto for Saxophone and Orchestra."

Sonny Rollins in Vienne
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!!!
