Info
Marking 100 years since the birth of Ronnie Scott, this concert at the Barbican Centre in London celebrates the life and musical legacy of the saxophonist, bandleader and co-founder of Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, on his birthday.
Led by Ronnie Scott’s artistic director James Pearson and members of the Ronnie Scott’s All Stars, the concert brings together a cross-generational selection of musicians from across British jazz history. Art Themen, John Etheridge, Orphy Robinson and Byron Wallen are joined by a new generation of artists including Camilla George, Daniel Casimir, Mark Kavuma and Joe Webb, alongside guests Omar Puente, Mica Paris and Curtis Stigers, with more still to be announced.
The programme draws on both sides of Ronnie Scott’s legacy: music he wrote, arranged and performed himself, alongside music by the artists and musical movements that shaped his club over more than six decades, from Count Basie, Benny Goodman and Ella Fitzgerald to Dizzy Gillespie, Nina Simone, Roy Ayers, Irakere and Herbie Hancock.
Combining live performance with historic film and archive material, this centenary celebration brings Ronnie Scott’s story to life, connecting the music of its founder with the musicians who have carried his legacy forward across generations.
