I am sure he wouldn’t remember me, but it was my great pleasure to do some playing at Berklee College of music with Scott just a few short decades ago. Already he had a tremendous ear, and a great versatility in many styles from Lester Young/Coleman Hawkins to Ascension style avant-garde and beyond. Mostly he played tenor, but I think his interest in more rare Woodwinds was already incorporated into his approach. For example, I have heard him on C melody sax, which the way he plays, makes a strong case for a true distinction between the C melody and a tenor or an alto. I have a fascination with the tenor & bass tárogató, and I would love to hear what a musician like Scott could do with such an ax. (Similarly, the whole Sarrusophone family, double reed or adapted for single reed, doesn’t get NEARLY enough love!) Where was I? I got distracted. Scott’s phrasing, his intonation, his understatement and use of silence mark him as one of the finest musicians any of us have ever heard. Are we all agreed?
There are two things that i think make a great saxophone player: they need to be able to both impress and express. And i have yet to see another saxophonist be able to do such an incredible task like that on the bass sax. Scott has won my heart with this one video.
Wow! One of the most astoundingly beautiful renditions of this song that I've ever heard! And forget the cowbell -- we need more bass sax! Bravo, gentlemen!
Been following Scott R for years...as a member of Toshiko Akiyoshi big band and on his many of his own albums including a C Melody sax sojourn he did years ago. He is a treasure and his most recent CD is great. Such a musician.
Woooooowwwwwwwwwwwww Listen non saxophonist you have no idea how freaking hard this is and hes doing it so effortlessly and playing so melodicly and soft, just wow man im honored to listen to that
I’m curious if this rendition of the tune pays homage to a recording by the great baritone bebopper from mostly the early 50s Leo Parker. If I had to state my opinion that recording is sort of as the Coleman Hawkins recording of “Body and Soul” is to the tenor saxophone, as the aforementioned is to the baritone. Probably could have worded that better 😅
I just now started learning the tenor saxophone. At the young age of over 40. What A beautiful tone that he is playing amazing and inspiring along with the rest of the band 😁👍
Just 100% totally INCREDIBLE. Scott Robinson is a Saxophone Genius (every type 🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷 known to man *AND SOME NOT KNOWN TO MAN😁* - and practically every instrument too). But his BASS SAX work is Mesmerizing. 🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷👏👏👏
scott robinson is the MAN so beautiful his sound in this monster! makes me wanna go play the bass sax and try to get those sounds! inspirational! thnk you emmet!
I had the opportunity to meet Scott. He sat in at a jam session as a part of the Rochester jazz fest this year, and I also saw his group perform. What a monster of a player. He’s also super nice guy. We talked and he showed me his tenor which he said he played since the mid 70’s as a teenager. Awesome experience
Great to hear a bass sax sound so good. Has anyone seen the film of Attilio Berni playing the gigantic J'Elle Steiner sub-contrabass sax that is part of his huge collection of saxophones ? It is about nine feet tall and sounds like a foghorn really but is great fun. Berni also has the tiniest sax in the world in his collection too and makes it sound surprisingly good for such a high-pitched instrument.
Years back, I had an enjoyable 15 minutes trying out a brand new Selmer bass sax in Selmer's store in Charing Cross Road, in one of their little studio rooms. Made a nice change from my usual tenor.
Robinson's definitely an interesting guy: He has a huge collection of horns- heavy on old silver-plated saxes, even older metal clarinets, and on large sizes of both - all of which he plays very well, and an equally huge collection of loud shirts, all of which he wears regularly and exclusively.
For all the non sax players Bass saxophone is extremely uncommon to play it’s essentially a dead instrument. The way scott is able to be so expressive on the instrument is remarkable.
Nah bass saxophone isn’t dead. I love the instrument I’ve spent ages learning to transpose bari parts and improving on bass sax is a whole new beast. So much fun, can never go back to baritone
Emmet must appreciate a clean floor, he seems to make everybody take their shoes off. On a different theme, I like to imagine that Scott's got an alto sax and that everything is really tiny.
Man he has a great sound on that bass, not at that all that many people truly sound good on a bass or larger saxes but, he's definitely one of the few that does. Especially since that looks like a fairly old bass too, some of the old ones are very tough to sound that good unless the keys/pads, and seams have no leaks and you have very good embouchure as well. What make is that bass by the way?

Dear Lord, you had me at the first bar with that bass sax tone. Wonderful. Thank you!

Micheal wilbur is decent at it if you can hear him play jazz on a bass sax, thats very rare though
Scott Robinson is one hell of a musician. Actually making the bass saxophone sound like a real instrument rather than a joke. He's the real deal.
One correction: Bass sax is never a joke its beautiful and I wish more people would play it😁
Fun fact, the bass sax was the first saxophone created
@@FNBRVoltsit was the first sax adolf made
Now THAT's impressive - to get a robust & clear singing tone from that bass sax! And of course, Emmet Cohen is one of my favorite piano players.
World class playing from Scott Robinson.
Finally somebody who plays the Bass Sax also all the way to its lowest register and not only a bigger Bari Sax
YES
Wow! One of the most astoundingly beautiful renditions of this song that I've ever heard! And forget the cowbell -- we need more bass sax! Bravo, gentlemen!
scott robinson deserves all the love in the world!!
Meeting Scott was an absolute pleasure. He's truly a kind and unique soul. His love and reverence for music are on a level beyond most.
Been following Scott R for years...as a member of Toshiko Akiyoshi big band and on his many of his own albums including a C Melody sax sojourn he did years ago. He is a treasure and his most recent CD is great. Such a musician.
Seeing all your reactions to each others playing really made me happy, looks like so much fun. Awesome playing.
Hahaha… brilliant, I haven’t smiled so much in a long time…
And that juicy bass sax -like dark chocolate…
🙏👏🙏👏🙏
Instant chills. Oh my god man. Beautiful rendition
Thanks! Love the bass sax (Robinson!) and the way you solo'd Emmet, with the great support of your trio. Love your channel
Magnificent!
His hat seems to be made from old reeds!
It is! He talks about it in the full performance video.
Yes, I made it for the cover shot of my "Tenormore" album. It's made from old reeds I've played on through many years.
@@scottrobinson2060 wow thats gotta be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
You have an amazing tone btw it was a pleasure listening to you play!
Woooooowwwwwwwwwwwww
Listen non saxophonist you have no idea how freaking hard this is and hes doing it so effortlessly and playing so melodicly and soft, just wow man im honored to listen to that
What a beautiful take on a sublime standard.Scott is in full control of that beast.Very expressive playing by all.
that sax tone is so *sweet*!
the whole jam was on fire beginning to end
One of the best tunes ever written but so rarely paid the respect it deserves. Monk did and so do Cohen & Co.

I'm always watching this channel from Japan!
Thank you for the wonderful video every time.
I practice and do my best like Emmet Cohen and others!
That was an incredible bass sax interpretation . At first everyone has a smile but that smile quickly disappeared because Scott is so good!
The drummer has me dying. His reactions at 5:15 are so good 😂

What a smooth warm tone Scott Robinson ! GREAT from the beginning to the end !
To quote Dewey Redmond, "If I got tone and you got technique, I win." Scott Robinson get everything.
The fabulous, the one and only Scott Robinson, still on top of it!! Bravo!
I'm melted down... thanks for great playing.
What a great presentation- i never heard a ballad on a bass sax e a beautiful piano solo- way to go
Emmet played his heart out. Great work by all. Thank you all so much.
scott robinson is the MAN so beautiful his sound in this monster! makes me wanna go play the bass sax and try to get those sounds! inspirational! thnk you emmet!
I’m extra impressed that he’s using a neck strap instead of a stand for that beast. A Bari is heavy enough.
not even a shoulder strap, really just a straight up neck strap. Meanwhile, my neck is hurting with a neck strap just for the alto😅
That was the first thing I thought of. I've played a bass sax, and they are heavy!
Must have titanium cervical !
Its not a Bari its a bass sax
@@laurosena2829 You can’t read … I know it’s a bass…I said a bari is heavy enough. Look at my photo I’m a saxophonist.
so so deeply sweet . . a broke heart lovesick foghorn’s lament . . Thank you!!!!!
And Emmet does a fine job on this as well, complementing Rob ❤
This is just Soooooooooo AMAZING. The Inimitable SCOTT ROBINSON. "Like None Other". A SAXOPHONE GENIUS.
Bravissimo. Suonare una ballad in modo talmente espressivo e con uno strumento così difficile ... bravo veramente !
I had the opportunity to meet Scott. He sat in at a jam session as a part of the Rochester jazz fest this year, and I also saw his group perform. What a monster of a player. He’s also super nice guy. We talked and he showed me his tenor which he said he played since the mid 70’s as a teenager. Awesome experience
I'm in love with Bass Sax now 😍
Beautiful, just beautiful. Goosebumps.
From a fellow Bass owner and player...OUTSTANDING!!
Maybe I should keep my old Bass now...

This is just the best jazz channel for me. If you have any contradictions keep 'em to yourself😂😂i don't want to know.

Think this is Superb absolutely Love it played it so many times !!!
That was utterly beautiful!!
Outstanding! Watched this on repeat. Hats off to the whole band!
That bass riff at 3:11 is so clean
Scott Robinson ist einfach klasse!
Beautiful piece
Thanks!
What a sweet sound! Fabulous stuff 😊👍
Absolutely beautiful.
Incredible
that was awesome
great tone
There is always such a great vibe about these sessions
And how on earth does he get that super-altíssimo at the end?
Superb!
Brilliant sax and marvelous piano, too!
Great stuff, great band - all of them!
do we need a baritone sax? noooo let's go even looooower 😀👍
what a nice performance！really enjoy it
Robinson's definitely an interesting guy:
He has a huge collection of horns- heavy on old silver-plated saxes, even older metal clarinets, and on large sizes of both - all of which he plays very well, and an equally huge collection of loud shirts, all of which he wears regularly and exclusively.
The fact that he is using a neck strap is incredible and to play smoothly he has to have a lot of core support and a open neck
Here before the algorithm blesses this gem of a video
Awesome
Oh man this is great.
Luv this too much!
Your heart sing Scott!
This is precious. That looks so heavy hahah bless you all!
Magistral❤
That is totally awesome. My bari is big enough. Go dude . That is beautiful.
Extraordinary!
For all the non sax players Bass saxophone is extremely uncommon to play it’s essentially a dead instrument. The way scott is able to be so expressive on the instrument is remarkable.
I think anyone with eyes and or ears would realise that it is a rare instrument.
*coughs in Michael Wilbur*
@@yaboi-km2qn I think max was simply saying how hard it is to be in control of the damn thing, as well as expressive with it.
@@TheAaronRodgersTao you are absolutely correct!
Nah bass saxophone isn’t dead. I love the instrument I’ve spent ages learning to transpose bari parts and improving on bass sax is a whole new beast. So much fun, can never go back to baritone
Yes !
Fantastic!💥👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋💫
Deep and well delivered!
