About Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club
Presented by Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club
Direct from London’s world-famous jazz club and combining world-class live jazz, narration, rare archive photos, and video footage, The Ronnie Scott’s All Stars take to the stage to celebrate The Ronnie Scott’s Story.
Set amongst the dive bars and jazz jook joints of London’s Soho, hear about the desperate hand-to-mouth finances of the early years and the frequent police raids.
Discover how Ronnie’s became neutral ground within the rife gang territory and their scrapes with gangsters, including the Krays who were rumoured to have taken Ronnie Scott “for a little drive”!
Life at Ronnie’s is evocatively reimagined through tales of the club’s past visitors, from pop stars, film stars and politicians to comedians and royalty – but above all, the musicians…
Mixing classic music from the jazz greats who have performed at Ronnie Scott’s over its incredible history, alongside tales of old Soho, miscreant musicians and police raids, this is a unique evening celebrating one of the world’s most famous venues, its music, and history.
