The Victor Feldman - Tom Scott Quartet

 In the late 1960s, Victor Feldman and Tom Scott led a quartet with Chuck Domanico on bass and Johnny Guerin on drums that featured regularly at Donte's on Lankershim Blvd, just up the street from the corporate offices of Universal Studios. On this track you can hear why the group rarely failed to tear up the place. Things get cooking at 0.58 minutes and Victor "explodes" at 1:18 minutes. Thank goodness that Gerry MacDonald had a tape recorder going so that all this great music didn't go undocumented. From my little perch at the bar, I can still see the smiles on everyone's faces whenever Victor, Tom, Chuck and Johnny performed at Donte's. Like most Jazz clubs it was dim, but this band literally "lit it up."
