Scotts Aug 86 in as the doors opened..down the front..repeat next 2 nights...Master

Been looking for this for decades! Thanks!

Today on Tokyo radio, there was a story about a world record holder who was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's new person to hit the same piano key multiple times in 30 seconds. I remembered this favorite song. Therefore, I will write it down.😉

Wunderschoen✨🕊️👨‍🎨🎨❤️✨

Fascinante!!

Ok, his superpowers never went down, not even at the very end, and that by itself is really amazing, but what amazes me the most here is the fact that, despite wearing some ridicolous wigs all thorugh many years, his hair was not that bad!

Beautiful

Stupenda ❤

Sad that Nick France died Sept this year 24.

Nobody like him ever

Watched this 45 years ago....genius forever......and respect BBC for showing it in the first place

Just as happy a find at 76!

Our greatest saxophonist,flautist,bandleader.

My​ favourite​ Ronnie​ joke: "My​ family​ was​ so​ poor​ all​ my​ clothes​ were​ bought​​ from​ 'The​ Army​ and​ Navy Store'. I​ can​ tell​ you​ it​ was​ no​ fun​ being​ a​ little​ Jewish​ kid​ walking​ home​ from​ school​ in​ the​ East​ End​ dressed​ in​ a​ Japanese​ admiral​'s​ uniform."

Another​ luminary on​ the​ early​ London​ jazz​ scene, who​ later earned fame and​ for​tune​ in​ America​ -​ let's​ not​ forget​ George​ Shearing.

Could​ somebody​ help​ me​ please? I​ first​ saw​ Ron, Tubby​ and​ the​ ​wonderful​ Jazz​ Courier​s​ at​ the​ annual Melody Maker jazz​ gala​ at​ the​ Gaumont State​ Kilburn.​ It​ must​ have​ been​ the​ early​ 1960s?​ Does​ anyone​ know​ the​ Year​ precisely please?

Sublime.​ Ronnie​ always​ was, ​ and​ always​ will​ be, the​ 'Guv'​nor'. There​ should​ be​ 'Blues​ Plaques'​ on​ the​ walls in​ Gerrard Street​ and​ Frith Street​ to​ Ron​ and​ Peter.​Victor, so​ marvellously​ talent​ed, yet​ so​ underrated.​ Jazz​ 625 also​ had​ some​ marvellous​ Tubby​ Hayes​ Big​ Band.​ Such​ halcyon days.

Not my favorite. But I have been known to be a liar. 😅 seriously, she is the greatest.

She s the best...great voice..even greater personality...😂

I’m 26 years old but i always had a crush on Tessa, she is such a hottie and of course such a talented woman

This is absolutely The Best Tiny Desk Concert I've witnessed to date. Incredible talent Uncle Charlie and those Young Artists are.

That is strong set. That was outstanding.

mic on the chin

Smithy you have superlative taste. Only top shelf Musicians I see. Excellent selection. The height of the Jazz fusion Era. Love this.

How does he make this sound? 4:28 he holds the note out but then does something to give it a different quality

Is that level 42 mark king on bass

I still miss my nights at Ronnies back in the late 80s with the terrible jokes repeated night after night and the incredible music.

Met him once in drogheda had a few pints of guinness an absolute gentleman very unassuming lovely man .amazing guitarist

Tubbs did a wizardly recording of this tune a few years earlier on soprano. It is, of course, equally brilliant.

Played with Bill at Oxford (can’t remember the pub) my mate Dan Quinton studied there at the time. He’d booked Bill to play with his band . Bill brought all his arrangements we’d never seen nor did we expect to have to play. …18-20 yr olds . “The Gnome of Barnes” my eternal favourite. If I remember correctly the cherry on the cake that night was Hank Shaw who was booked for a gig Oxford next day ….he sat in!!! How much influence and on the spot excitement can a kid get? Pissing your pants whilst playing with the big boys . The big boys were generous to a fault. They were encouraging, unassuming and uncomplicated they had amazing anecdotes and played up a storm and took us along with them. Thank-you. That job along with others I did with Don Randell, Everyone from the SRO, Joe Temperley informed Every studio theatre and live gig I did subsequently. It also informed my attitude to my professional life in theatre and TV in technical management for over 35 years thereafter. My favourite interview of all time encapsulates the self effacing attitude of world class British Jazz musicians when they’re off the stand. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYnamYKPe8qUmtE

I’m here because I love the ORIGINAL Bitsa theme (1991), which, according to Wikipedia, was arranged by Bill.

Reply to Joejohnson…….YES!!…I was there,I also went to 100 Oxford street known as Victor Feldman Club 1947,and the Club 11 opposite the Windmill Theatre,1948,and in 1951 the 51 Club opposite Leicester Square underground Station….I bought a vibraphone from Bill Lesage.Now in my 93rd year,and still playing Ladybird,and Good Bait!! on my Rowland 2000….Blossom Dearie was the last time that I was at Ronnie Scott’s club 1966.

Beautiful tune, ive got his two orig albums for sae

GMM

I have this vinyl and guard it with my life!

Beautiful

Proof that Tubby is still the UK 's preeminent Jazz Musician up there as good as the Americans, lost far too young to hard drugs his supplier should be given life

The world’s best singer

Absolute belter ❤

Cat flat smokes

hermoso, genio!

Fantastic, the GOAT

Love this very much! 😍

Cleo Laine, still alive and kicking at age 96.

Phenomenal lineup of musicians on this great chart. What an incredible arrangement

I wonder how many big stars tried it on with her? I wouldn't blame them

I didn’t realise Ronnie Scott was such a good sax player😮

Epic......

Remember this. My dad loved this as a fan of big bands. Great arrangement and whatever happened to the singer? Think he was called Clive? Tessa was Richard’s wife at the time and has backed just about everyone in the British music industry. Love it.

This whole performance - absolutely electrifying!
