Who the **** is Ronnie Scott?
Saturday 16th March 2013 | Osh
You have much to learn about music, young Grasshopper. Since 1959 Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club has been presenting some of the finest musical talent in the land. Celebrities from all walks have life have visited the legendary club, becoming part of it's rich cultural heritage.
'...But I don't listen to Jazz', you say. Think again, Jazz music encorporates rhythms and vibes that you hear in hiphop, funk soul and blues. Some of the best producers in the Hiphop, House and Drum & Bass games cite Jazz among their sources of inspiration. You are a jazz fan and you didn't even know it.
Friday night's sold-out show featured Ronnie Scott's Blues Explosion. The lights were dim, the drinks were flowing and the artists were having just a good a time as the audience. Listeners were treated to mindblowing solos from the pianist, the trumpeter, saxophonist and rhythm guitarist Tony Remy.
After the show, Tony told Guestlist that the ambience is the reason he loves playing at Ronnies so much. "The layout and the lighting were changed 6 or 7 years ago now, and it's made the atmosphere so warm an comfortable in here", and we are inclined to agree! Tony is talking about a refurbishment that took place in 2006, and we have to admit that the way the tiers of dinner tables face inwards towards the stage gives the room a distinctive feel, making it very much a 'club' rather than a bar.
Having immediately fallen in love with the club and it's music, we hope to return soon to bring you more information on up-coming projects.
