A goldmine of originally recorded live interviews with the greats from the Jazz and Big Band era, with integrated recorded samples of their work played throughout the broadcast. Scott Ellsworth was the creator and on-air host of the popular radio program, "SCOTT'S PLACE." It aired live on KFI-AM in Los Angeles, six times a week, from midnight to 4:00 am (MARCH 30, 1970 - APRIL 1, 1972).

They would talk about their career, reminiscing with anecdotes...their love of jazz and big band music. Interviews averaged in length from one hour to four hours. Scott was exceptional in his ability to draw together some of the finest artists and musicians representing the history of jazz music...many who were not known by name to the general public, but well know to the jazz community dating back to the 1920's, 30's,40's, and 50's.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Open of the show guests announced by Ed McMahon. Johnny Carson complete opening monologue is heard which includes the statement that Muhammad Ali who was supposed to be on last night's show is on tonight. Surprise guest is Bill Cosby who is heard later in the program commenting about viewing Ali's return to the ring with a TKO in 3 rounds over Jerry Quarry after three and half years in "forced" retirement. Cosby talks about the different feeling he had seeing the fight live as opposed to viewing it on TV. Ed and Johnny at the desk reading sage advice from a book published in 1904 and countering with updates circa 1970. Guest Muhammad Ali discusses his TKO over Jerry Quarry three nights ago. At 28 years of age he mentions that he has boxed for 16 years, has fought in 10 title defenses, and feels blessed that he has been able to be as successful as he has been. He mentions to Johnny that he had only six weeks to prepare for the Jerry Quarry fight, and dropped 28 pounds in that time. They talk about the cut that Ali inflicted upon Quarry, resulting in the fight being stopped. Carson screens a clip from the Jim Jacobs documentary, "Legendary Champions," which highlights Muhammad's career. Ali comments. Johnny states that Ali is so much more reserved at this time from the boisterous Ali of the past when he made predictions and spouted poetry. Ali comments. He remembers when he was 12 years old and after his bike was stolen he was introduced to boxing by patrolman Joe Martin. Muhammad Ali states that he would like to fight Joe Frazier after he fights Oscar Bonavena. Includes commercials. NOTE: A lost Tonight Show. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.

Scott Ellsworth's guest is bassist Rolly Bondock. March 30, 1970 - April 1, 1972 KFI 640 Los Angeles AM Radio. 162 individual broadcast Audio Air Checks survive. A goldmine of originally recorded live interviews with the greats from the Jazz and Big Band era, with integrated recorded samples of their work played throughout the broadcast. Scott Ellsworth was the creator and on-air host of the popular radio program, "SCOTT'S PLACE." It aired live on KFI-AM in Los Angeles, six times a week, from midnight to 4:00 am (MARCH 30, 1970 - APRIL 1, 1972). Over 500 unique broadcasts featured jazz and big band music, interspersed with live interviews with musicians, singers, composers, conductors, arrangers, band leaders, writers, music producers, dealers & promoters. These guest artists would drop by the studio after midnight, quite often following work or performing, and would bring some of their favorite records or personal recordings to the show to play for Scott and his audience. They would talk about their career, reminiscing with anecdotes...their love of jazz and big band music. Interviews averaged in length from one hour to four hours. Scott was exceptional in his ability to draw together some of the finest artists and musicians representing the history of jazz music...many who were not known by name to the general public, but well know to the jazz community dating back to the 1920's, 30's,40's, and 50's. The SCOTT'S PLACE theme music, "Have A Nice Day," played by Count Basie & his band, was composed and arranged by Sammy Nestico specifically for Scott, in July 1971. It was used permanently as Scott's theme music beginning in November 1971. Most of the lesser known legendary jazz artists who frequented the show did few, if any, talk shows in their life, making these candid conversations so valued since most of these individuals are now deceased.

July 7, 1969-July 14, 1972 (SYNDICATED). During the three-year run of his American talk show, David Frost taped the show (approximately 750 programs) each week, Monday through Thursdays. The series was syndicated by Westinghouse. Sadly almost 300 or these original telecasts (recorded on 2" Quadraplex Video Tape, were wiped and are now considered forever lost because myopic executives considered these programs as ephemeral, and did not envision these broadcasts as viable future money makers. They also failed to realize the historic significant importance of these interviews and opted instead to recycle the master reels saving not only space in storage but as a value concept of not having to purchase a new $500 video tape for other broadcasts to follow. First question by host David Frost is how both Don's first met, followed by a myriad of topics including early childhood memories, early jobs taken, the initial night club years, including recreating part of the act Rickles did doing some of his early impressions of Clark Gable and Akim Tamiroff. Don Rickles remembers his impressions when first visiting the UK, and Frost is good natured when being mimicked by Rickles regarding certain English customs. Don remembers working with Clint Eastwood on a picture filmed in Yugoslavia. Don Adams discusses his character Maxwell Smart form his series Get Smart and how such character began to rule his real life mannerisms and behavior. Other Don Adams anecdotes, include working with his dear friend and partner Bill Dana, and how the phrase "Would You Believe" first evolved. Protégé singer Hal Frazier is discussed by Don Rickles. He sings "Those Are My Favorite Things." Don Adams and Don Rickles share memories when each served in the military. Adams further discusses his penchant for collecting and reading Military History and his admiration for Robert E. Lee. David Frost introduces outtakes from an upcoming TV Special with Don Rickles in scenes satirizing the classic movies, The Jazz Singer, and Prisoner of Zenda. Both Don's express the admiration for Ed Sullivan and relate anecdotes about him. Further anecdotes about both Don Rickles and Don Adams wives. Adams mentions that he is awaiting the adoption of a child and mentions his fear of flying and his past relationship with a stripper.

A goldmine of originally recorded live interviews with the greats from the Jazz and Big Band era, with integrated recorded samples of their work played throughout the broadcast. Scott Ellsworth was the creator and on-air host of the popular radio program, "SCOTT'S PLACE." It aired live on KFI-AM in Los Angeles, six times a week, from midnight to 4:00 am (MARCH 30, 1970 - APRIL 1, 1972). Over 500 unique broadcasts featured jazz and big band music, interspersed with live interviews with musicians, singers, composers, conductors, arrangers, band leaders, writers, music producers, dealers & promoters. These guest artists would drop by the studio after midnight, quite often following work or performing, and would bring some of their favorite records or personal recordings to the show to play for Scott and his audience. They would talk about their career, reminiscing with anecdotes...their love of jazz and big band music. Interviews averaged in length from one hour to four hours. Scott was exceptional in his ability to draw together some of the finest artists and musicians representing the history of jazz music...many who were not known by name to the general public, but well know to the jazz community dating back to the 1920's, 30's,40's, and 50's. The SCOTT'S PLACE theme music, "Have A Nice Day," played by Count Basie & his band, was composed and arranged by Sammy Nestico specifically for Scott, in July 1971.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
Guests: Karen Valentine,James Brolin, Danny Thomas, Carol Burnett, John Wayne, Glen Campbell, Marlo Thomas, Robert Young. Monologue plus 49th Annual Photoplay Awards. Johnny Carson receives Photoplay Award for outstanding TV entertainer.#2023: DEAN MARTIN SHOW, THE

#6813: SCOTT'S PLACE
Order1970-11-18, KFI, ?? min.
Scott Ellsworth's guest is tenor sax player Benny Golson. March 30, 1970 - April 1, 1972 KFI 640 Los Angeles AM Radio. 162 individual broadcast Audio Air Checks survive. A goldmine of originally recorded live interviews with the greats from the Jazz and Big Band era, with integrated recorded samples of their work played throughout the broadcast. Scott Ellsworth was the creator and on-air host of the popular radio program, "SCOTT'S PLACE." It aired live on KFI-AM in Los Angeles, six times a week, from midnight to 4:00 am (MARCH 30, 1970 - APRIL 1, 1972). Over 500 unique broadcasts featured jazz and big band music, interspersed with live interviews with musicians, singers, composers, conductors, arrangers, band leaders, writers, music producers, dealers & promoters. These guest artists would drop by the studio after midnight, quite often following work or performing, and would bring some of their favorite records or personal recordings to the show to play for Scott and his audience. They would talk about their career, reminiscing with anecdotes...their love of jazz and big band music. Interviews averaged in length from one hour to four hours. Scott was exceptional in his ability to draw together some of the finest artists and musicians representing the history of jazz music...many who were not known by name to the general public, but well know to the jazz community dating back to the 1920's, 30's,40's, and 50's. The SCOTT'S PLACE theme music, "Have A Nice Day," played by Count Basie & his band, was composed and arranged by Sammy Nestico specifically for Scott, in July 1971. It was used permanently as Scott's theme music beginning in November 1971. Most of the lesser known legendary jazz artists who frequented the show did few, if any, talk shows in their life, making these candid conversations so valued since most of these individuals are now deceased.
