Victor Feldman Trio Featuring Ronnie Scott - Summer Love

[@nickwills1212]

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

[@nickwills1212]

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.

Ronnie Scott deserves a MASSIVE memorial, right in the middle of Soho. Great player, great man. Thank you for everything you have done for music, Ronnie!

[@tomtheeagle1]

Only if Peter King is on the plinth. Two sides of the same coin.

[@timmo491]

totally agree with that. King of Soho.

[@alansenzaki4148]

What a beautiful song. Victor's playing is sublime...so is Ronnie. Rest in peace Rick.🙏

[@Electrica990]

I can believe in life again when I listen to true artists....

[@Ron239]

Oh how I couldn't agree more. It's time humanity woke from all of this insanity and embraced true beauty and artistry.

I worked with Victor Feldman with Woody Herman in1956. Victor was playing Vibes with us at that time. Great musician. Arno Marsh

[@malcolmhopkinson9843]

Victor Feldman was astonishing on piano and vibes he worked with Miles, Shelly Manne at the Black Hawk also Steely Dan .....wonderful musician....Ronnie Scott was always creative in his solos, over the years in his club having listened to the likes of Zoot Sims, Hank Mobley, Ben Webster, Dizzy Gillespie, George Coleman, Stan Getz, Johnny Griffin as mentioned in John Fordham’s excellent book "Jazz Man" which I am just finishing. I knew Ronnie and always listened to his tenor sax, he was my man since I was 17 at his first Gerrard St location, I had no money but promised to send the admission later, I talked with Pete King on the door and then Manager Ronnie told him I had all his records, him and Tubby Hayes. He let me in, later years at Frith St there would be a lineup with him just arriving and pushing in, and I would tap him on the shoulder and say "Hey have you paid?" his comments were always amusing and sarcastic... I miss you dearly Ronnie... but I have your music

[@MrJazzologist1]

Yes, all the garbage that flows from humans; the crazy pain and humiliations, the struggle to find beauty; all fades when these musical- genius giants let their inner souls fill us with deep contentment.

[@algail44]

The music that weaves its way through you heart, mind and soul and hopefully awakens one smoothly and eloquently to real beauty and the wonderment of the human mind in action and its magical ability. Simply beautiful Alastair

[@TheNvdmullen]

HI AL; YES, THIS IS COOL STUFF MAN! I LOVE IT. Didnot know you are so musical. Thanks!! Noel in the Netherlands.

[@vova47]

Victor is so underrated!One of truly greats of all time he had a sound all his own!

[@63Baggies]

Edgware's greatest son :-) There isn't even a plaque to remember him by; Victor was MONSTER TALENT, piano, vibes or traps, he was a BEAST of a player....

[@herringfly]

Couldn't agree more. A more restrained showing here than usual, though. He kept his shirt on and remained seated on his stool for the duration of the number.

[@exjazzbassbaz]

the two ronnies and victor how good can it get.these guys were world class.if miles and the adderleys were here they would tell you about victor.he left too soon lovely bloke fantastic player.many thanks

[@Electrica990]

I feel like I'm in the most beautiful enchanted place listening to this. Beautiful hometown of the soul.

[@1JimP]

Special.. Feldman Trio here is indeed, in deed! Ronnie Scott "top flight".. Thanks for the vid - \O/

[@simonaarones]

Beautiful

[@talbotvanman]

The two Ronnies revering of course to Ronnie Stephenson on drums another great sadly missed. Played along side him at a Newcastle jazz club, Later he was with the well known MC5 (Mike Carr on piano) Jammed with him in his house in Gosforth one day his brother Ian walked in with a trumpet he had just bought Another legend was born !!!

[@deianhopkin]

+talbotvanman Sad the Mc5 never, to my knowledge, left any vinyl legacy - I may be wrong. But as an aspiring teenager, I heard them on a BBC Jazz Club session and was knocked out.

[@algiles881]

Deian The MC5 made two EPs back in 1961 one for EMI (Columbia) and one for a small label whose name escapes me now. The band was known as the EmCee Five and the records featured Mike and Ian Carr, Garry Cox on tenor, Ronnie Stephenson on the drums and Malcolm Cecil(?) on bass. A few years ago Mike Carr reissued them on his "Cargo" label, expanded with some live recordings made in the early 60s.Take a look on Amazon. The CD was called "Jazz From The East Coast"

[@nickwills1212]

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."

[@blue47er]

How nice to find this one available. Thanks to jykds for providing some wonderful listening pleasure. I first hear this pairing in 1954 within the nine-piece band Ronnie toured with at that time. Victor Feldman was a masterful musician and Ronnie was there as an exemplar to us all. Thanks again!

[@alanwitton5039]

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful

[@Rickriquinho]

It's so beautiful!

[@gloucester414]

Thanks for posting really nice, within themselves, playing. Great brit jazz!

[@allen6924]

That was beautifully played and jusy made me smile

[@eulaliomontesdeoca2695]

Victor is so cool. GREAT

[@jazzyman4]

At one time British jazz was behind the American scene But many British jazzers worked hard first to copy and then to develop their own style Tubby and Ronnie were the ones to stand out as they found new areas to explore - but many other British jazzmen assisted in developing a British style of modern jazz On this delightful- A Summer Love - it produces a wonderfully clear and thought provoking creation of beauty That wasn’t America playing - it was British modern jazz

[@Ron239]

Victor Feldman just plays beautifully with an Evansesque touch, and what a gorgeous song. Is this an original or have I missed it somewhere in the literature?

[@poplarboydavid]

Classy!!

[@lyntedrockley7295]

Its a Jazz 625 BBC programme, but the 'set' from what we glimpse of it looks like The Marquee Club.

[@lespaulson6873]

SMOOTH !

[@benjaminpearlman2625]

He came before Coltrane? I didn’t know that very similar ideas absolutely beautiful.

[@timmo491]

Ronnie built the jazz scene in London and had the unfunniest jokes. Good lad RIP.

[@daksinho911]

Great jam

[@weswemyssonbass]

Rick Laird, pre-Mahavishnu Orchestra on bass. RIP.

[@magn8195]

Wow RICK LAIRD is on bass... Who would have thought??!!

[@paxwallacejazz]

I know huh? more interesting mature and harmonically advanced than I'd have suspected.

[@sealerdave]

Ever heard of Cleo Laine or Johnny Dankworth u tube em !! Brits...The best

[@vova47]

While there´s many reasons to be underrated in jazz, being european in black american dominated business certainly wasn´t helpful. However Victor´s talent overcame all the obstacles admirably and he was a choice pianist for Miles. Cannonball, Getz, J.J. and others. And that´s not too bad in my book.

[@paxwallacejazz]

I didn't know Victor Feldman was British I always thought he was American West Coast.

[@nickwills1212]

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?

[@63Baggies]

Hey! Remember who created this music in the first place. This being said, it isn't a race war or weight lifting ; it's ART!

[@djthemoretaiwan]

Rick Laird on bass?

[@halcyon289]

Yes.

[@mindbodylightsound10]

Anyone have an ID on the bassist here?

[@waynedanberry]

Rick Laird, who would go on to play with John McLaughlin in The Mahavishnu Orchestra.

[@17rph93]

Anyone know who wrote this tune?

[@TheFranciscibus]

No dislike. Why then do people listen to Justin Bieber?

[@swingmanic]

Some people like the sound of babies crying. ;o)

[@Rickriquinho]

It's complex but blame de media...
