Sonny Rollins - Beyond the Notes

A film on iPlayer about Sonny Rollins’ music built around his 80th Birthday concert. I was absolutely sick with jealously when I heard who turned up on this gig - Christian McBride, Roy Haynes, Jim Hall, Ornette Coleman (The first time they ever played on stage together!) and Roy Hargrove. Now you can, and should, watch this gig. Just beautiful music. This is why we have BBC 4.

I was lucky enough to see Sonny Rollins several years ago and I hope to have that opportunity again. I found it a truly inspirational experience
