Great video, thanks for posting this. Was wondering if you knew who he bassist was? I'm a Contrabassist studying jazz and would love to hear some more of this guy's playing.

What a joy to see Ronnie Scott alive and playing the tenor sax. I was (for the first time in my 60 year life) at the club in Frith Street this Monday (13. aug. 2007) to see Johnny Griffin. He has grown old, tired and drunk, but the place and the other musicians (e.g. James Pearson on piano) were just terrific.

Thank you very much!

@12rosebud12 It's called jazz - no rules. Get over yourself!!

@Dihelson Bach is good to the ears. Jazz has no emotion or tune so it must be the technical aspects that people admire.

[Dihelson]

@warriorprince1010 this is a question that if the person don´t know the answer by his own soul and ears, he will never know the answer! It´s like questioning why Bach is great...there´s not a single answer who would fit completely.

This was just before Ronnie decided the parting had got so low that a comb-over was no longer do-able.

[12rosebud12]

Goodness me, what crap is that supposed to be? How many of these be-bop beebos have actually SEEN the Green Dolphin Street movie??? They really ought to, so they'd get the idea what the tune was written for and would stop butchering it.

Like SciBucks I listed to Trane, then Getz, then came to Ronnie Scott here. He takes a much shorter solo, but gets alot into it. Gets around the horn! Would have been nice to hear him stretch it out.

[HendrixcommaMartin]

Jesus, could that bass player be any more ahead of the beat?

[SciBucks]

Really nice to watch - first time seeing Ronnie Scott play actually - He is a really nice player for sure. I watched the John Coltrane verison, then the Stan Getz Version right b4 I watched this one, what I really found interesting was the way that Coltrane and Getz put something other than the notes or tones or techniques into the piece. They really draw you in to the emotion and MAKE you feel the piece where with Scott I was listening to music being played without really feeling it all.
