RS Nov-Dec Brochure 2012-2_Layout 1 16/10/2012 12:56 Page 2 Jazz, it's a tough business for some. Never a headline music form, not since 1962 anyway, it suffers from a lack of media exposure and big record company support, yet as a live form, here at least, it goes from strength to strength. We are enjoying one of our greatest seasons for stellar artists. This October we have enjoyed Avishai Cohen, Joe Lovano and Dave Douglas, The Bad Plus, Steve Smith and Jeff Lorber all selling tickets like there is no tomorrow. Our Late Late shows are getting ever more popular, and it doesn’t stop there. Stacey Kent, Dianne Reeves, Terence Blanchard, Ravi Coltrane, Dee Dee Bridgewater and the rest of November’s shows will also all be playing to packed houses. Happy days. There’s a nod to the past on its way. We have been trying for years to find a way to bring a US Big Band over but the economics have always got in the way, however we are really pleased that we have been able to engage the Mingus Big Band for a week here at the club in late November, just like in the olden Pete King and Ronnie Scott days. Double houses all week we look forward to hosting a mass of New York A-list musicians playing the music of Charles Mingus, whose legacy is so well maintained by his widow Sue, who will be over here with us too. And then December/Christmas, and a lot of familiar faces back again to help the annual mayhem along, but a change at New Year when house favourite Georgie Fame and his Blue Flames join us (and Ray ‘8 Clams’ Gelato) to bring in 2013. Georgie has even promised us his party set-didn’t know he had one. Lawks.

RS Nov-Dec Brochure 2012-2_Layout 1 16/10/2012 12:56 Page 3 Nov Artists SOLD OUT THURS 1ST - FRI 2ND: (Doors 6pm (& 10.30pm fri) / £38.00 - £50.00) STACEY KENT Stacey Kent (voc), Jim Tomlinson (sax), Graham Harvey (pno), Jeremy Brown (bs), Matt Home (drs). Sublime American singer, rightly famed for her peerless interpretations of the Great American Songbook, but equally adept at singing in French or Portuguese, and her beautiful tone and wonderful phrasing bring a fresh beauty to everything she sings. This five night run is sure to feature material from her recent live album, Dreamer In Concert, on Blue Note records as well as hits from her catalogue including the gorgeous Hushabye Mountain which featured recently in a TV advertisement for Dreams. SUN 4TH: (Doors 6.30pm / £25.00 - £40.00) RONNIE SCOTT’S JAZZ ORCHESTRA Presents Duke Ellington Songbook Led by award-winning saxophonist and band-leader Pete Long, the RSJO is one of the UK’s finest Big Bands and features the cream of UK talent. This month they perform “It Don’t Mean A Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing - The Duke Ellington Songbook” featuring the Queen’s Suite and other Ellingtonia! SAT 3RD: (Doors 6.30pm & 10.30pm / £35.00 -£55.00) ROBERTO FONSECA Roberto Fonseca (pno, voc), Joel Hierrezuelo (Cuban perc), Jorge Chicoy (gtr), Ramsés Rodríguez (drs), Yandy Martínez (bs), Baba Sissoko (African perc/ngoni/voc) Roberto Fonseca is one of the most extraordinary, charismatic young pianists, composers and band leaders to explode from Cuba in recent times. He wowed audiences as a member of Buena Vista Social Club, co-produced Ibrahim Ferrer’s last album with Nick Gold, and his debut album Zamazu was released to global acclaim. An explosive pianist, Fonseca’s dazzling music draws on the traditions of Cuban music though he also brings the lyricism of Herbie Hancock and the drive of McCoy Tyner to his music as well as an unparalleled gift for melody. Soulful and beguiling, his music transcends artificial definitions such as jazz or Latin but is a vibrant, wondrous contemporary reinvention of the venerable traditions of both musics. facebook.com/ronniescottsclub twitter.com/officialronnies www.ronniescotts.co.uk / tel: 02074390747 PAGE 04 PAGE 05
