Quelle fabuleuse rencontre de trois légendes du saxophone ténor! Cette jam-session est inspirée et volcanique. La section rythmique n'est pas pour rien dans cette ambiance électrique. Cet enregistrement est exceptionnel. Merci pour cette fantastique découverte.
This is a bloody-ripper of live-gig at Nick's. Used to go there nearly every 2nd Thursday for these live Jazz broadcasts starting at 22.00hrs, during the 70's! They blew the roof off the joint! Mostly performed by visiting American Jazz artists. Saw Johnny Griffin there several times giving every one a lesson on how to play the tenor! Great times, absolute great Jazz-sessions and sadly becoming a time of the past. Will treasure those days. Great upload and my thanks!
LUCKY 472 Went to this ripper Jazz-Joint during the 70’s when i lived in Holland, before returning to Australia in 1981. Met most of these fabulous Jazz-men (also these guys) via my dear friend swing-drummer Wallace (Wally) Bishop, who lived and died in Holland, who was the ex-drummer of the Earl Hines Band in the 1930’s. Fantastic memories about the best of Jazz artists, and the best of the best ever Jazz years. So Dig, Enjoy & Cheers!
Wow- i am blown away by the Tough Tenors again - thank u soo much for sharing this unique footage, its instantely in my favourites list ! groetjes uit Nice :)
The drummer's rimshot is killing it! Is it Butch Miles? I had the honor of him showing up to fill in with me one night in Albuquerque New Mexico. He was truly unbelievable! I just rediscovered Arnett Cobb after so many years of being mind waterlogged by fusion and modern bop. Now I remember why I learned to play jazz. Thanks man this is rejuvenating!!
Great upload - thank you. This needs to be on a CD! Brilliant playing. Not heard much Cobb but I'm definitely going to check out his music. Is this available for download anywhere?
Interesting to hear a Selmer Balanced Action, Mk VI, and Mk VII, all with Otto Link mouthpieces, and how different they all sound. None of that comes down to the horns. Remarkably similar horns--at least to the 95% mark if you played them all in succession--and mostly similar mouthpieces of different vintages. But 3 completely different sounds and approaches.
+John Dough - Sorry John, but Cobb played a Yamaha, Griff a Selmer Super Action 80 and I think that Lockjaw used a Selmer Mark VI. Indeed all on vintage Otto Link pieces.
Interesting; I once had a balanced action, then Yamaha (no tone) then since, a mark 6 and also a Jupiter, black and gold (with matching alto, and both fierce old strong tones and perfect top to bottom), but now, it's the mark 6 wiith my highly modified Otto Link 8, now super size and smoothed for all round. I get a Ben Wewbster sound for preference.,some boots, hawk, getz, others by mouthing. Never stops.
Phil, where are you, how can we meet/ Interested in your modified Otto link 8. Ben used to have a modified 8. Jaws had a 10 Star, with a factory alteration, a longer length of Lay. He had a July 1983, Mk 1 Selmer Super Action 80, presented to him by Selmer, when Eddie visited the factory. This was before he died. I had a Crook, belonging to Jaws, from a Mk6, on my 1984 Selmer Super Action 80, which I exchanged for my Conn Naked Lady 10M. Eddie never liked the MK 7's, and used to have a Conn in the late 1950's, but as people have said, he had a Mk6, before his last one. I met him, 1969, and am working on his biography, but have to reconnect with his daughter Sheila. Johnny played a King Tenor, and a 12 star link, not Selmer. Cobb I do not know. I last saw Johnny in 2003. Eddie died too young, and I still miss him. Say, would you like to know how to play and sound like Jaws? I kid you not.
It was recorded a long time ago from a radio broadcast on a cassette (tape) and converted to mp3 some years ago. Never released on LP or CD. I can get you a copy of the MP3 if you let me know your email through a private message.
@@renedehilster5735 That;s why it was driving me mad - it wasn't obvious because it's not at the start of the tune! I've never heard the term 'shout chorus' before, but it's an entirely apt one.
You think those are three saxophones, don't you? No. They are a galactic invasion force that will sweep your planet aside to make way for the new Galactic Groove Freeway. Beware the leopard, daddy-o.
Heard that concert live on the radio. Fine work from the tenors but that drummer is awful. Butch Miles is a good big band drummer but his stiff playing here is killing every opportunity to swing. That was my opinion then, and it still is now.

Glad you liked it Daniel. Indeed one of the best concerts I've ever visited (and I've seen a lot!).
OMG! This IS a killer stuff! Complete musicianship! Cracking! Thanks for uploading
Glad you liked it. 🙂
I agree, it doesn't get better. Such a superb sound. Jumpin' music. Literally; I want to jump and around the room!!
Wow, I've looked for years to try and find this song. Can't believe I came across it by accident.
Each time I listen to this I'm in heaven!
I can't believe I found this song on youtube! I love it!
Thanks jazzroom :). I guess we never get bored of real quality music like the 'Tough Tenors' played. Greetings back from NL.

Arnett Cobb was, "The Man"!!!
Fantastic tenor workout.

Yes, that's indeed the great Butch Miles.
Excellent!!!
IMPECCABLE QUE DU BONHEUR...

bedankt he!
+theHellza Poppin - Graag gedaan!
wow, incredible! Is there any way to humbly request for copies of the audio for this track and the rest of the concert? :)
Such a superb recording! Sounds like it was recored on analog tape through the soundboard & stage mics, yes?
😋🌿😊
Who might be the drummer...? Alvin Queen?

rien de tel pour commencer la nouvelle année !......et continuer les 365 jours qui
s'annoncent !
Wonderful can anyone put a West Montgomery or George Benson guitar lick with this 😎😆😍
😀🌱💚
Thank you for the upload killer. Does anyone know if this is on vinyl or cd
It was recorded a long time ago from a radio broadcast on a cassette (tape) and converted to mp3 some years ago. Never released on LP or CD. I can get you a copy of the MP3 if you let me know your email through a private message.
Somebody help me out, please - what's the name of the tune that Jaws quotes at 5.42 that everyone joins in with? It's driving me mad!
Sussed it - it's Splanky, which he played on when he was in the Count Basie Orchestra!
@@BackToTheBlues It's the shout chorus from Splanky, not the tune itself. :)

I won't mind being invaded by such kind of musicians Dan!
Who is the drummer? Is it Butch Miles?
Yes, it's indeed the great Butch Miles on drums.
drums too far up in the mix but fantastic band - Arnette Cobb!
