The one and only Ronnie Scott. Magnificent!!

Ronnie Sax -, Dick Pearce, Flugel-Martin Drew, drums, -Ron Mathewson, Bass- John Critchenson, Piano. Dick is the only one still with us! (even Ted Rogers has gone!) To those expressing amazment that this ever occurred, (me too, I don't remember it at the time) Ted Rogers was a great Jazz fan and I suspect he had a lot to do with getting the band on, probably with quite a resistance. Kudos for Ronnie et al to play so uncompromisingly!

Fantastic group. Ronnie was a beautiful player

Every time I hear him again I value more and more Ronnie's playing.

Odd that Ted Rogers would feature jazz on a game show on itv but I take my hat off to him. It was a good move.

Unbeleivable Cool the lead from ronnie solo into Critchinsons solo is sublime

The late Martin Drew on drums

Just wonderful! From 3-2-1! Who knew?

Truly wonderful ❤

With great music like this, why do people listen to rock?

This is fabulous!

fantastic stuff love it x

Time less excellent stuff x

Love it! Is it just me, or does the trumpet player makes that fluglehorn sound like a standard trumpet?

Masterpiece

Funny that for a Saturday evening TV programme they chose a pretty heavy duty bop number and played it as such as well. Happy days watching all those guys live many, many times.

Well kind of. Its basically an altered blues. Great to see the band again though. Like you I spent many happy hours at Ronnie's listening to fantastic music and Ronnies repetitive terrible jokes :))

Arbennig, Ronnie - sain gwych! Pawb yn gwrando ar ei gilydd ac yn cyfathrebu'n dda. Bravo!!!

Great band but amazing playing from Ron Mathewson!

Was this on 3-2-1? Or similar can you imagine this on the Ant and Dec show? No me neither. Every space on tv is now taken up by some chart act and yet we’re supposed to be ‘inclusive’

Slick & fast & brief. I guess they tailored it to the gig. Would've liked to hear them stretch it out a bit...

No ! I'm afraid it's not the same, without Tubby.

Incredibly, Ron never seemed to value his own playing as much as the rest of us did. He worshipped the great American players but he was the equal of most of them. After all he played with the amazing Tubby Hayes abdxwas not overshadowed by him imo. And I still re-tell his jokes to people who are too young to have heard them live! Eg. " My parents ran the only jewish pub in the East End, The kosher horses". You had to be there.

Oh ! What a big let down, I was expecting something on the fabulous Tubby Hayes style, but all we get is long notes and trllls. Rubbish.

You should have gone to Ronnie Scott's club and heard the 10 minute version back in the day. This 3 minute job is for the benefit of the masses on a Saturday night game show and not catering especially for the jazz lover.
