Sorry about the bad video/audio quality but this is the best I could come up with from a very old VHS tape!!
On the other hand, the music quality is just superb...all four players are masters of their domain... Ronnie & Ray are just music geniuses!! and for all the jazz drummers out there, check out Kenny's amazing chops... what a great drummer he is!. As for the band leader, this video and jazz history speak for themselves....
I hope you enjoy this video as much as I do!!

Kenny has maintained this classic sound and melodic swing in his drumming now with the great Bill Charlap Trio etc-a true master drummer
Live, straight ahead jazz...the best! Johnny's got the spirit!
Thanks for the memories, I've seen this group many times.This was Jonnny´s best quartet since he returned to the U.S.scene. And not too many people play with that energy and drive today.I miss both Griff and Ronnie...
Yep! You're right ....That's fast ....:-)
I had the pleasure of booking Johnny a number of times at a jazz club I had in Liverpool during the early - mid 70's. .... He played fast then as well!

MONSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this!! A revelation to me!
@vova47: I saw all the groups you mentioned in live myself during the 80s... good olt times...
@vova47 I agree with you 1000% .. this the REAL deal!!
Cheers, mate!!
@vova47 Yeap, I reckon you're right... Such a pity.. and that's why I went to great length to publish these 4 videos here (did a lot of EQ and other tricks to try to get the best possible audio) so other people around this world could enjoy them as much as I do... You're absolutely right about the sheer jazzz quality which we lost in the last 30 years.. the moder "jazz" festivals lack the quality of the groups you've mentioned.. And I fully understand your frustration.. Merry Xmas & a jazzy 2011
Damn that's a good bass player
Wished they showed a lil' more Kenny, gd yo
Thanks for posting this video!!!!
I wish the editing was a little slower.
Killing group all around. Whew!!!
Wow
I love KW's clean-cut sound. if you want more him, there's better coverage of him with Griffin at the village vanguard, nyc. BTW, Blues for Harvey sounds a lot like Blues for Gonzi! whatever, it's all good.
Yeah, I'd be out in the ally by the back door, and it would be cold, and I'd be dancin' like a fool. Perfect!
@melsamba You know, I don't think they ever recorded this group. They made a video at Vanguard but it wasn't as good as the stuff here. But there was quite a few great groups back then- Dexter Gordon Quartet, George Coleman Quartet, Cedar Walton Quartet, Woody Shaw group, Sphere etc.
And now there's almost nothing to hear at the Jazz Festivals it's so commercial.
Well, I am through complaining, Merry Christmas, my friend!!
Washington was 22.
Just saying.
nice Philly Joe Jones quote at 13:13
what song could I find philly playing this lick? or do you know what its called?
Hi there...
Yeap... it's a mistake... it says Leroy Williams but it should read Kenny Washington..
Cheers!!
I want that shirt
i cant help but notice that at 8:57 it says some name which begins with an L, or maybe thats a K...regardless the last name says Williams? whats up with that did they make a mistake or what?
This is quite my tempo.
