Thank you Garth ... great stuff

I knew Charlie Chiarenza when he ran Alfonse’s in Toluca Lake. That was a restaurant with jazz in the very tight bar area. Charlie was a great host and seemed to know everybody. He booked himself on guitar a few times, but the jazz was always great. Lou Levy was a regular on piano and sometimes Ross Tompkins after taping the Carson Show. They even jammed big bands into the narrow space on occasion - Frank Sinatra Jr, Bill Berry. More often, very tasteful trios and quartets. It was a terrific hangout - Jazz and cocktails.

When I can, I always try to watch their show live. Brilliant musicians and always good fun.

That is beautiful! I saw this guitar on display at the Smithsonian and had just met Bill at the racetrack. Later in ‘98 I toured his facility and bought one of his flat top guitars. Later I toured his then new facility and bought another. So sad we lost him in 2017.

Love this - thank you

Very emotional, liked so much...👏😊

His relationship with the guitar is so wonderful.

Knowledge is gold.

I love this guys so much.I like how he describes playing with others.Such a great musician

I saw this band at the Blossom Jazz Festival in Ohio around 83 or 84, both Scofield and Stern were in the band, it was fantastic, at one point I see a figure standing at the edge of the stage, in a suit, holding a trumpet, it turned out to be Winton Marsalis but Miles ignored him!

Heard Frank at Birdland last night. What a show!!!

Bob glad you are doing better. Frank is such a monster player. Fantastic teacher too. Love the Birdland shows every Wednesday. Frank is a guitar player that guitarists listen to.

That is one beautiful arrangement.

Vince. Very nice arrangement. DO I hear a bass player?

Very nice

I love hearing these great old stories about Miles Davis. Like the one about how he enjoyed speaking to fans after the shows and how he'd stay for hours signing autographs and telling dirty jokes. Miles was always willing to offer advice and compliments. There was that one time where he told a crowd of 50-thoudsand people to go shove it up their asses. That Miles, what a character.

Seriously, the Man!

This is the best use of Drop A ive ever heard, by a long shot. Such a wonderful demo on what can be done with it. Now i have a question for you, im trying to find a 7 string trapeze bridge part for my 1990s 7 String SG Construct, and thats the bridge part you have here. I want it so i can fix a flaw in the construction (i didnt build it), do you know where i might be able to get one, please?

Great interview with a great musician! Wishing you the best of recoveries, Bob. You actually look like the picture of health.

Go to praxis .man)...Pasquale Grass is real professor)

Just checked out the new album. It's amazing! So beautiful on every level.

Thank you very much for this interview. Just wish, Dominque Gaumont, Peter Cosey, and Reginald Lucas were here to interview. My favorite period, starting with McLaughlin. He may have started the '70' phase, Gaumont, Cosey, & Lucas finished this phase... Miles Morphs.

Great Interview! I am attending Martin's camp in the Catskills this summer, can't wait! I was curious what you were going to say about Keith Richards? I assume it was something about not playing during covid.

Yes, I definitely missed ya. Glad you're still with us!!! Whew. Well Scott is right though, you look as healthy as ever.

This interviewer is a jackass. His phone is ringing, he’s completely unfamiliar with the content and has done no prep, he has no idea how to say the interviewee’s name, he picks up his own guitar and starts playing over Neff’s discussion, and to be honest I think he’s totally out of his depth. It was super telling that he had to ask if the son clave was describing 5/4 time.

Bag fees are very complex depending on destination and weight. I’m guessing the $400 bag check fee is specifically for a bag over 70 lbs (ie overweight) and on a flight to China or India. Or something like that.

Frank is a great play and teacher. I think he mentions "Tom McCarty" @ 15:44 but meant --Ted McCarty. Thanks for the great interview Bob!

I'm more of a ballad guy - as was once said, "man's got to know his limitations." Still interesting.

I have the signature 335 and the Flying V, they are are absolutely amazing.

That’s why you lived 😂 Only a doctor can say that to make them important. All my grandparents smoked , drink, raised many children and all four lived over 82. Life it’s a mystery! This is what doctors should say.

So sorry u were ill pal, must of been scary 🙏hope you get back to 200 percent .)

One of the greats ☮️❤️✨🔥

I recall and replay instrumental pieces developed on riffs which support a study in style and develop them as if they would support a singer. Later (usually much) I may be recalling a piece (in my head) and lyrics sometimes bust in and I jump up to write some down. At that point I become a lyricist. The words are not allowed to alter the arrangement and while I may be able to sing the words, I'm still the instrumentalist. So, the lyrics are kept in wait for the right singer (which I don't look for). So while I consider myself a songwriter I'm not a singer/songwriter - nor recording artist.

Great interview! Thanks and stay well

In my personal opinion, Scott is on par with the people he sites as influences. Not just Karnevel, but so much of his discography is so wonderful and inspiring to listen to. Scott you are a huge influence to me, thank you

Excellent playing

Not only Scott is one of the greatest and most unique guitarists ever, but he seems like a really decent and nice human being. I love everything that he does. Such a superb musician.

What a player, he's excellent guitarist. I love his style of jazz fusion

Thank God you're doing better Bob, I recently went through AFib problems - had to reschedule my colonoscopy, but everything is good now, thank God, you went through a Big one, hope all success with your recovery, GREAT interview, stay be well my friend, God Bless.

wishing you continued good health, Bob! You do indeed sound and look exactly the same - maybe even more relaxed and happy :-)

Glad your are recovering and feeling better

Hey Bob,great that you are doing better, hell, what a story. Having intensive care background by the way i see many many people having heart attacks and and other vascular infarctions due to agglutination. Unfortunately all these people have one thing in common which i won' t talk about here, you might know what i m talking about. Esp.here in Germany theres not a single word being heard about this subject from the official side. yeah, i saw Scott in Hamburg back in March this year!The gig was great and i enjoy the new material very much,awesome! All the best to you Bob and Scott and the audience from Germany!👍🎸💪

Van harte beterschap!! Sterkte!

WOW!!!! I'm praying for you, Bob!!! of course, Scott is an INCREDIBLE GUITARIST who has amazing command of his instrument and played some of the most difficult music ever written by the late great Chick Corea, making it seem effortless( as did Frank Gambale)!!! It's cool that he's involved with his projects from both sides of the glass! Thank you for another fantastic interview!

The Birdland shows are amazing. Such great musicians playing such great music, and it's so well presented. Frank Vignola is contributing so much to today's music. I love his playing and he has played with so many great players on these shows. His TrueFire Channel is also a great resource for guitar players like me.

Thanks for sharing this great interview, Scott Anderson is still my favorite Fusion guitar player around... 38:23 -Miles said that about his 1980, Keys man Robert Irving III , something to the effect of ''You're not supposed to always hear him, but you're always able to feel his musical presence in any track'.

Sorry to hear about the health. I had a ❤ attack myself a year ago. Technology is good in cardiology. Glad to see you back to the interviews. Take care.
