[@SkonrokkenTV]

[@tonyclifton265]

there will be other nights like this but there will never be another Veronica Swift

[@mikeslipper1779]

Just loved it. I remember the days when I was part of the scene T.was great.

[@sebastiannai4381]

best scatting I've heard, she truly has the lines of a top level instrumentalist

[@uzettem6964]

She's the BEST

[@Osnosis]

@@uzettem6964 Stephanie Nakasian is her mom!

[@uzettem6964]

@@Osnosis I know that of course, why did you tell me this?

[@Osnosis]

@@uzettem6964 many do not. Veronica’s musical lineage goes a long way towards explaining her mastery.

[@chipmonkey7266]

Her scatting reminds me a lot of Ella Fitzgerald, especially in Ella's rendition of "Rockin' in Rhythm" with Duke Ellington's band

[@wernermatrisch2]

♥♥♥You can feel, see and hear: all these musicians love jazz - and jazz loves them!

[@rocketpost1]

This was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it. All great musicians and a really good jazz vocal from Veronica who is certainly charismatic.

Great playing all round! And of course, as is tradition, everyone laughing and talking over the bass solo unfortunately - Great vibes in general though, looks like a great night for everyone involved

[@rickjust]

didn't hear the bass solo. I fast forwarded it.

[@fivestarplaying3553]

5:20 Nice Funky Town quote

[@jimbrown1559]

I've been digging Veronica since the first time I heard her, maybe five years ago. She is the real deal! BUT -- where was the sound mixer on this gig? Did she do something to piss him/her off? BTW -- the reason we hear everyone talking over the bass solo is that the sound mixer doesn't have enough mics!

[@reubene7851]

who's the fantastic melodic drummer ?

[@JudahDaniels]

Looks like Jason Brown

Yep

[@louisbink8220]

Also listen to Louis Armstrong

[@marksleeper657]

pennies - lol

[@johnbresnik]

Her scat singing is better than Ella's - fantastic singer. Love that guitar player - he's really good and I've heard them all - been playing jazz piano since 1955..!

[@larrbrown7277]

Didn’t even get close Ella,but good👍

[@duncancofell8960]

@@larrbrown7277maybe not better than Ellas sure, but it sounded pretty close in skill. Just because they’re jazz legends doesn’t mean the new generations can’t keep up!

[@Dentsun4228]

​@@duncancofell8960I think it's about improvising scat in the moment. Not just the mechanics of scat. Ella was in a different universe improvising-wise

[@ivanakatov6231]

Nasty Benny

[@Arrrow54]

她的声音很沙哑，应该好好训练...

[@ellaakiyama5670]

她是一名职业歌手。这是一种特殊的演唱风格，称为 Scat 或 Bebop。常用于爵士乐。她的声音和艾拉·菲茨杰拉德一模一样。她的声音不应该听起来轻柔而空灵，因为这不是这种音乐的意义所在。也许在让自己看起来自大和无知之前做更多的研究。 ♡♡♡

[@IRACEMABABU]

At the start the bass player is completely out of rythm. Unable to play quarter notes regularly....

[@supmet2]

🤔🙄Not really sure I get what they are going for?

[@svensvensson6705]

What do u mean with going for?

[@CampbellYoungblood]

Not really sure what you’re going for 🤦‍♂️

Pennies from Heaven, probably.
