Search - Ronnie Scott :: Ronnie Scott and His American Friends

Recorded in the same year (1964) as the Tubby Hayes set, Ronnie Scott is heard partnering four modern jazz giants in Donald Byrd, Freddie Hubbard, J. J. Johnson and Sonny Stitt live in his London Club. A fascinating insight into the activity which went on in the Scott club over the year. Highlights are what is arguably one of Ronnie's finest solos on record - the opening Secret Love where he leaves Sonny Stitt the unenviable task of following on - which Stitt does with considerable aplomb. Included too is Les Tomkin's interview with Scott on which he discusses the state of the modern jazz of the era.
