I was never aware of that concert until I read the new Sonny Rollins biography recently. That concert was an attempt at by Milestone Records, of whom Rollins, Carter, Tyner and Foster, were under contract with at the time, to replicate the success of another jazz super group VSOP. The idea was good but it turned out to be just a one off as Rollins, who was very aloof at times, could not/would not come to a mutual agreement with Milestone, Tyner and Carter to create more concerts and recordings. What as shame as there are some gems on that session. It was only released and re issued on vinyl LP format and I am very happy the complete concert is on You Tube. I listened to it a few times since I was made aware of its existence and started research it.
