Popular Post El Presidente Posted September 17 Popular Post Share Posted September 17 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 If you are ever down London SOHO way and looking for some great jazz, Ronnie Scotts. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meklown Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 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 🤣 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonMiguel Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 RS is definitely an institution for some of the Jazz and Funk greats! A must goto! Yet, Wine list though is iffy at best. and as if I recall the cigar smoking possibility is zero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant 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. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glass Half Full Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Almost "Reported" you Ken Jazz is life. Those that don't get it,...well, IMO, are missing out on life. All modern music has its basis in Jazz/Blues tenets IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
