Sonny Rollins won three major trophies at the 2012 Jazz Journalists Association awards this week: He won Musician of the Year for the second year in a row, as well as Tenor Saxophonist of the Year, and his album Road Shows Vol. 2 (which documents his 80th birthday concert at the Beacon Theater in NYC, from 2011), won Best Jazz Recording.
That show (which I saw) was also heavily featured in this BBC documentary, Beyond the Notes, which also includes footage from as far back as 1967. Enjoy!
