Review of Sonny Rollins and Jim Hall: The Bridge

As far as cheap DVD's go this one was pretty good. Hearing and watching the interview after the title track is a nice thing to watch as I don't get to see that often. Rollins is very vocal and has a lot to say and comes off as very musically intelligent. This DVD features 3 different live sets.

The first three tracks were done on the Jazz Casual show and are probably the best three on here. Track 4, My Kinda Love has no Sonny Rollins in it, just Jim Hall and his band in 1964. The last two were done in Europe and appear in color, being done live in 1973. Hearing St. Thomas in the 70's is a treat as the band adds a little funk feel to it. All in all this is a good buy for $12 Canadian.
