Recorded between 1963 and 1966, these live gigs - performed by the Sonny Rollins/Don Cherry Quartet (Paris, January 1963); the Sonny Rollins quintet with members of the Modern Jazz Quartet (Berlin, October 1965); and the Sonny Rollins trio (Graz, Austria, November 1966)- showcase the magnificent sounds that made Rollins one of the top horn players of his day and one of the most interesting, prolific and long-lasting jazz icons.
