January (cont) MON 21ST - WED 23RD: (Doors 6pm / £25.00 - £40.00) MANU KATCHÉ Manu Katché (drs), Jim Watson (pno/organ), Tore Brunborg (sax), Luca Aquino (tpt). Renowned French-Ivorian former rock-drummer Manu Katché has played with everyone from Joni Mitchell to Jeff Beck and Jan Garbarek. Blessed with a remarkable tone he is a sublime drummer as at home with elegant bop as he is with unusual popish themes. He appears here with an excellent band featuring Norwegian saxophonist Tore Brunborg, trumpeter Luca Aquiano - and our very own Jim Watson on piano, one of the UK’s finest keyboardists and a brilliant performer in his own right. Expect classy, sensual contemporary jazz as heard on Katché’s recent critically acclaimed on ECM. facebook.com/ronniescottsclub twitter.com/officialronnies ronniescotts.co.uk / tel: 02074390747 PAGE 10 PAGE 11 THURS 24TH: (Doors 6pm / £15.00 - £25.00) DOUBLE BILL: MATTHEW HALSALL + ZARA McFARLANE Top-class double bill with ace Manchester based trumpeter, composer, arranger and band-leader Matthew Halsall one of the rising stars of the UK jazz scene and Mobo nominated soul-jazz sensation Zara Macfarlane. Halsall’s unique sound was brilliantly described as “Rain-streaked spiritual jazz from Manchester” by the Independent On Sunday. Halsall explores the modal jazz of John and Alice Coltrane and hard bop of the late ‘50s and early ‘60s, but on his most recent album Fletcher Moss Park he offers his most personal statement yet inspired by the beauty and tranquility of Fletcher Moss Park one of Manchester’s most beautiful places. His superlative band features some of Manchester’s finest musicians including rising star pianist Taz Modi (Sub-Motion Orchestra), bassist Gavin Barras and drummer Luke Flowers (Cinematic Orchestra). The addition of Rachael Gladwin’s harp brings a sense of liquidity to the modal explorations, and Halsall's own beautiful playing lingers long after the music ends. MOBO nominated Zara McFarlane, a rising star on the UK jazz/soul scene, released her debut album on Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings in October 2011. Positioned neatly between the twin worlds of modern jazz and eclectic nu-soul, Until Tomorrow confirmed the presence of a very special young voice on the UK scene. Exuding a liberal dose of subtle, stealthy swing, the album was rooted in the jazz tradition.
January (cont) FRI 25TH - SAT 26TH: (Doors 6.00pm & 10.30pm (two shows) / £50.00 - £70.00) MILTON NASCIMENTO Milton Nascimento (voc/gtr), Lincoln Cheib (drs), Kiko Continentino (Pno), Wilson Lopes (gtrs), Gastão Villeroy (bs) (+TBC: Widor Santiag (sax)). One of the world’s greatest voices, <strong>Ronnie</strong>s Scott’s is delighted to welcome the great Milton Nascimento to our stage. By the age of two, Milton Nascimento was hammering on a piano at his grandparent’s home in his native Brazil. By six, he would spend hours on the front porch playing accordion and harmonica using his voice to replace missing notes. By nineteen he had written his first song, then, a few years later, Brazilian pop singer Elis Regina would record one of his songs opening the door to becoming one of Brazils most celebrated singer songwriters. Today, Nascimento is an international star touching audiences all over the world. His compositions, particularly those on the 1974 album Native Dancer collaboration with Wayne Shorter - remain an influence on many of today’s musicians including Esperanza Spalding. He has written and recorded a stunning 28 albums, and has worked with and appeared on albums with artist such as Paul Simon, Quincy Jones , Pat Metheny, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, and Peter Gabriel.

MON 28TH - WED 30TH: (Doors 6.00pm / £35.00 - £50.00) MICHEL LEGRAND A very welcome return to the club for legendary French singer, pianist, songwriter, composer, arranger, conductor and producer who has enjoyed a whirlwind career, excelling in an impressively broad range of domains from film soundtracks and French ‘chanson’ to jazz and classical music. Perhaps best known for his film soundtracks such as The Thomas Crown Affair and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, he has made occasional, and highly notable, excursions into jazz as an arranger and conductor - his late 50s masterpiece Legrand <strong>Jazz</strong> featured Miles Davis and John Coltrane. He has written for Stan Getz and Sarah Vaughan and many of his compositions have since become modern standards. Unmissable.
