Sonny Rollins: Beyond the Notes (2012x2)

Ausstrahlung: Feb 17, 2012

2011 was the 82nd year in the extraordinary life of arguably the greatest saxophone player in the world - Sonny Rollins. Four decades ago, as a young filmmaker and aspiring musician, Dick Fontaine followed Rollins up onto the Williamsburg Bridge in Manhattan during one of his legendary escapes from the perils of "the jazz life". Today, still resisting stereotype and compromise, and revered by a new generation of young musicians, Rollins continues his single-minded search for meaning in his music and his life.
