2008 release featuring a splendid and previously unreleased Japanese performance by Sonny Rollins in a quintet featuring Paul Bley and guest star Betty Carter. As a bonus, a rare 1956 broadcast by Rollins with the Max Roach Quintet is included. For this Japanese tour, another horn was recruited to complete the quintet: the rather mysterious trumpeter Reshid Kmal Ali. The well-known Canadian pianist Paul Bley is also present for this performance. On 'Slow Boat to China', Sonny Rollins leaves his musicians behind and performs with the accompaniment of a full Japanese group. Another element of the Japanese tour was the presence of singer Betty Carter, who performed some songs in the concert with the rhythm section. Two songs were captured from this concert.

Live at Marunouchi Hotel, Tokyo, Japan, September 19, 1963.
