Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club: The Ronnie Scott's Story
Direct from London’s world famous jazz club and combining live jazz, narration and rare archive photo and video footage, The Ronnie Scott’s All Stars return to Chelmsford Theatre with a brand new programme of music celebrating Ronnie Scott's story.
Set amongst the dive bars and jazz jook joints of London’s Soho, we hear about the desperate finances of the early years and the frequent police raids. We hear how Ronnie’s became neutral ground within rife gang territory and their scrapes with gangsters including the Krays who were rumoured to have taken Ronnie and Pete for a ‘little drive.’ Life at Ronnie’s is reimagined through tales of the club’s past visitors, from pop stars, film stars, politicians, 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 six decades of history, alongside tales of old Soho, miscreant musicians and police raids.
