"This video contains rare footage of the trombone master, Frank Rosolino. It is his best work I have heard and I highly recomend it."

"I love this DVD. Rosolino's solos are simply amazing; energetic yet seemingly effortless. How does he play all those notes while barely moving his slide? The photography is wonderfully adventurous; particularly the closeups and the interesting use of lighting and shadows. And host Oscar Brown Jr's heroic attempt to sound like a "cool cat" while reading his scripted monologue from cue-cards is almost worth the price by itself."

A Must have for any Trombone player or fan

"As a trombone player I have long been a fan of Frank Rosolino. I was elated when this came out since I had never had a chance to seem him while he was still alive. Fortunately this captures Frank in the prime of his career doing some fantastic playing. I only wish it was much longer than thirty minutes."

"What a privilege to finally see Frank Rosolino on DVD. He shows why so many believe he is the finest t-bone player in history! The clarity of the sound he produces is amazing and the technical proficency that no one else as of yet has been able to reproduce is evident on each and every cut. 'Jazz Scene USA'also allows us to see what many of his peers loved about Frank besides his trombone playing and that is his scat singing and his humor. Buy this DVD!! I hope other DVD/VHS from Frank Rosolino become available in the not too distant future."
