Tom Scott and the L.A. Express Robben Ford/MA,USA 05.05.1975 FM Broadcast Edition

This highly sought-after album for fans features a live recording broadcast on Boston’s WBCN-FM of Tom Scott’s performance shortly after the release of his album “Tom Cat,” featuring a young Robben Ford on guitar and a powerful rhythm section of Larry Nash, Max Bennett, and John Guerin. The highlight is undoubtedly the young Robben Ford. His sharp, raw phrasing, different from the refined blues guitar of his later years, sparks with Tom Scott’s saxophone. The album runs for approximately 74 minutes, mainly featuring funky numbers. Rather than the polished sound of the studio album, it’s appealing for its raw, visceral groove that captures the atmosphere of the club.
