This documentary presents Sonny Rollins against the varied
backgrounds of the Opus 40 Festival in upstate New York, in New
York City and Tokyo.  The central event in the film is the premiere
of a concerto for tenor sax, product of a collaboration between
Rollins and the Finnish musician Heikki Sarmanto.  Of its seven
movements, five (with the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony) are shown intact
and for each one, Mugge devises specific visual motifs, taking the
camera outside for shots of Tokyo streets, neon lights, and views
of the people.  Rollins plays "G-Man," then performs a set of
improvisations, including "Don't Stop the Carnival," "How Are
Things in Glocca Morra," "Over the Rainbow" and "Peer Gynt" during
which he jumps from the seven-foot-high stage to the ground,
chipping his heel as he lands, then lies on his back to play for
thirty minutes, though not all of this is filmed.  Three critics,
Frances Davis, Gary Giddins and Ira Gitler put Rollins in
perspective.  Personnel: Kamau Daaood, Nirankar Singh Khalsa,
Dadisi Wells Komolafe, Roberto Miguel Miranda, Dadisi Sanyika and
Lula Washington.
