In 1959, saxophonist Ronnie Scott opened the door to a small basement club in London’s Soho.    An ardent jazz fan, he and fellow saxophonist Peter King had dreamt of opening a club modelled on the swinging jazz clubs and buzzing scene of New York’s 52nd Street.  From its humble beginnings fifty six years ago, Ronnie Scott’s would become one of the most famous jazz joints in the world. 
The Ronnie Scott’s Story is a visual and musical celebration of the club’s extraordinary history.  Combining live jazz, narration and rare archive video footage, it charts the club's rise from a basement bar, through its trials & tribulations and landmark  performances from jazz icons, to become the internationally acclaimed jazz venue it is today.
We hear about the desperate hand-to-mouth finances of the early years, the frequent Soho police raids, gangsters and their scrapes with the Krays and the mystery bottle of Champagne.   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, Ronnie’s jokes and the musicians.
Having fought to lift a ban on visiting American musicians, Ronnie Scott’s would play host to some of the finest musical talent of the 20th century including Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Dizzie Gillespie, Horace Silver, Elvin Jones, Buddy Rich, Count Basie, Chet Baker, Stan Getz, Wes Montgomery, Freddie Hubbard, Ella Fitzgerald and many, many more.  Co-hosted by saxman Alex Garnet and Ronnie Scott’s Musical Director, pianist James Pearson, The Ronnie Scott’s Club Quintet perform music by many of the great acts that have graced the clubs stage, exemplifying the classic post-bop sound of the great era of jazz.
Featuring, James Pearson Piano, Sam Burgess Bass, Alex Garnett Sax, Freddie Gavita Trumpet and Chris Higginbottom Drums.
