About This Movie

So, this one is a recording of Sonny Rollins performing live in Madrid back in '93. You really get the spirit of the moment – the energy in the room, the way the audience reacts. The Sextet brings a tightness to the performance, but there's also a loose, spontaneous vibe that jazz lovers will appreciate. Rollins' improvisational skills shine, creating an atmosphere that's both intimate and expansive. The sound quality is pretty solid too, allowing you to really get lost in those rich saxophone tones. It’s raw and authentic, capturing a unique slice of jazz history that feels both personal and universal.

This recording is somewhat rare in collector's circles, as live jazz performances from this era often get overshadowed.
