This outstanding DVD features live American TV footage of three of the most important musicians of the twentieth-century. The broadcasts were filmed in the 1960's, when self-expression was at its peak, and the golden age of jazz reigned supreme.
The most influential jazz musician in the last 40 years, tenor saxophonist John Coltrane (1926-1967) delved into uncharted realms in order to explore the farthest reaches of the human spirit and the universe through music. He was jazz's great soul-searcher, a restless spirit with an unquenchable thirst for discovery and a unique ability to share his most profound beliefs, feelings and ideas with his listening audience.
Clearly one of the greatest saxophonists of all times, Sonny Rollins (b. 1930) has amazed jazz enthusiasts for over fifty years. His thick, powerful tone, uncanny harmonic sense, masterful and riveting improvisations and deep understanding of musical structure have set him apart from all the rest, as one of the most ubiquitous voices of the tenor saxophone.
Arguably the most important living blues musician, B.B. King's (b. 1925) legacy has transcended musical boundaries, influencing musicians and audiences from all different styles and walks of life.
From the powerful tenor sound of John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins to the pyrotechnic guitar work of B.B. King, this incredible DVD is a must have for any music lover.
