Description:

A 101-minute portrait of tenor saxophone master Sonny Rollins who, for decades, has been called the greatest living jazz improviser. The film centers around an ensemble performance at Opus 40 (a sculpted rock quarry in upstate New York) and the orchestral world premiere in Tokyo, Japan of Rollins’ Concerto for Tenor Saxophone and Orchestra. Rounding out the portrait are an extended New York City interview with Rollins and his late wife Lucille, and commentary by jazz critics Gary Giddens, Ira Gitler, and Francis Davis. “SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS is an electrifying record of an artist at work.” - Allen Young, Variety Please contact footage@globalimageworks.com for licensing or a screener of the entire film.
