An afternoon at Ronnie Scotts.


Recommended Posts

Had a Vesper martini there some years ago that is still my favourite martini! 

Inspired by and named after this stunner.

Pity we can't have a cigar in the club 🤣

I was treated to a surprise yesterday afternoon after a long lunch with great mate Justin Seldis. Justin stated that we were going to pop into Ronnie Scotts (Soho Jazz institution) to meet his friend and Jazz pianist legend, James Pearson. 

James was a delight and couldn't have been more welcoming. He sat us down and with his legends trio, punched out a 30 minute impromtu session. 

Brilliant :clap:

 

If you are ever down London SOHO  way and looking for some great jazz, Ronnie Scotts.

have to give the place kudos for longevity. i used to go there regularly when i lived in London decades ago. in those days, there was a smoke haze all night! 

that said, and while it was a good place, for me, i can't stand jazz. what is the difference between jazz and the sound of a car crash? no point in asking me, i can't tell them apart (i do like quite a lot of latin jazz though). i know others love the stuff and good luck to them. i find most of it to be a self indulgent dirge. but each to their own.

so why go? because women though the place was so cool. taking someone to Ronnie Scott's was a big feather in the cap. putting up with listening to car crashes was a small price to pay.

Jazz is life.  Those that don't get it, ...well, IMO, are missing out on life 

  

each to their own. i just prefer music to listening to self indulgent chook beheadings.
