week and of course the old place takes a bit of a battering. In the past
year we have upgraded the sound desk situation, all the bathrooms,
much of the back house, the kitchen floor, walls and some of the kit,
replaced the club table bases for extra comfort and have installed
cameras and built an AV studio. Busy, and costly, times. To be frank it’s
a bit of a Forth Bridge this place.
It’s often easy to consider Ronnie Scott’s as just the club and the
headliner playing therein, when in fact there is a whole lot more going
on. The Bar upstairs is a venue in its own right with separate promoter
nights bringing all sorts of jazz based music each evening. The
Wednesday jam, for instance, has been running almost 5 years now
and is as packed as ever. Downstairs the Late Late Shows have been
getting extremely busy, with Thursdays particularly getting so full we are
finding the place is full at 1am with a queue outside! And then there’s
the Big Band and All Stars getting bookings around the world and the
weekly radio show - now presented by Ian Shaw - broadcast on Jazz FM,
and in Toronto too. Maybe this year’s theme should be world domination.
Highlights of the early 2013? Well we have a few new artists to the club
in Eumir Deodato - remember “Also Sprach Zarathustra (aka Theme to
2001: A Space Odyssey)”? Plus pop percussionist Manu Katché and
Brazilian superstar Milton Nascimento. And at the tail end of February
a very long awaited return of Trumpeter Arturo Sandoval. Pedal Steel
Guitar fans will love Robert Randolph on Feb 15th.

NATIONAL YOUTH
JAZZ ORCHESTRA
Justly revered as a glittering showcase for the country’s best young musicians,
NYJO was founded by Bill Ashton, OBE, in 1965, and many of the current generation
of top British jazz musicians have risen through its ranks, often becoming
established jazz stars whilst still playing with the band. Featuring two vocalists and
22 band members, NYJO is a powerful celebration of the jazz orchestra sound from
a band of under 25 year olds, many of whom are destined to become the next UK
jazz generation. Much of NYJO's music is written specially for the orchestra by British
composers, including past and present members of NYJO.
RONNIE SCOTT’S
JAZZ ORCHESTRA
Presents… The Story So Far
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 featuring the music of Count Basie,
Duke Ellington, Woody Herman, Stan Kenton, The Rat Pack and
Benny Goodman.
MON 7TH - TUES 8TH:
SARAH JANE
MORRIS
Revered, sensual singer-songwriter Sarah Jane Morris, straddles rock, blues,
jazz and soul with a goose-bump raising four octave range that rumbles from
the heels of her size eight shoes to the tips of her flame-red mane. Famed for
her association with the Communards in the mid-80s and infamous for a
banned rendition of the classic Me and Mrs Jones, Sarah Jane Morris has
always attracted as much attention for her politics as for her soul-driven,
seismic voice. Ten solo albums later, pop stardom on the continent, and a
diverse set of musical collaborations on record, film and stage, Morris
continues to steer her unorthodox career to greater heights. Expect old faves
alongside new material from her recent “Where It Hurts” album.

(Doors 6.00pm / £30.00 - £42.50)
CARLEEN
ANDERSON
THUR 3RD - SAT 5TH: (Doors 6pm (& 10.30pm fri/sat) / £25.00 - £45.00)
Sarah Jane Morris (voc), Henry Thomas (bs), Dominic Miller (gtr),
Tony Remy (gtr), Martyn Barker (drs), Alistair Gavin (pno), plus special
guests John Eacott (tpt), Annie Whitehead (tb), Michael Rosen (sax).
(Doors 6.30pm / £25.00 -£40.00)
Blessed with a uniquely soulful voice, soul singer Anderson found early fame
with the hit single ‘Apparently Nothin’ with the cult band Young Disciples
and has since gone on to great things as a popular and highly rated
soul/jazz vocalist, both as a solo artist and in the company of acts such
as The Brand New Heavies, Paul Weller, Bryan Ferry and Courtney Pine.
She also just happens to be James Brown’s goddaughter and the
daughter of his legendary vocalist Vicki Anderson.
SUN 6TH LUNCH:
(Doors 12 noon - 4pm / £15.00 - £18.00)
LEE GIBSON ‘The Glory Of Gershwin’
One of UK finest interpreter of this classic material and influenced early in her
singing career by the likes of Sarah Vaughan, Lee knows how to swing a band. She
is accompanied by the John Horler Trio plus featured saxophonist Jamie Talbot.

SOUL FAMILY
WED 9TH - THURS 10TH:
(Doors 6pm / £20.00 - £35.00)
LARRY GOLDINGS,
PETER BERNSTEIN,
BILL STEWART TRIO
Storming trio featuring the classic Hammond B3, guitar and drums format
that drove the soul jazz boom of the 60s. With renowned Hammond
maestro Larry Goldings as at home in funk and pop as jazz and a hugely
in demand sideman and virtuoso performer, top class drummer Stewart
and world-class guitarist Bernstein who has played with the likes of Dr
Lonnie Smith, Joshua Redman and Diana Krall.
FRI 11TH - SAT 12TH: (Doors 6pm & 10.30pm / £25.00 - £45.00)
NICOLA CONTE
COMBO
Nicola Conte (gtr), Bridgette Amofah (voc),
Pietro Lussu (pno), Paolo Benedettini (bs),
Teppo Mäkynen (drs), Francesco Lento (tpt),
Gaetano Partipilo (sax).
A very welcome return for Italian DJ, producer, guitarist and band leader, Nicola
Conte whose shows last February were a highlight! Expect sharp-suited retro
jazz with a Bossa Nova flavour and funky edge from Conte, who is renowned
for introducing an innovative, uniquely Italian style of acid jazz that incorporates
Bossa Nova themes, melodies drawn from Italian film scores of the 1960s, easy
listening themes and beyond. Italian DJ and producer Nicola Conte became
famous with his loungey brand of jazz that relies extensively on bossa nova, but
is also heavily influenced by the swinging soundtracks of Italian films in the
'60s and '70s, plus touches of ethnic music and kitsch.
PAGE 06
Hosted by charismatic singer Williams, Soul Family Sunday is a monthly
event presenting a host of top-notch guests from the world of UK R&B,
soul and jazz. Blessed with a huge range, Williams moves effortlessly
between heart-rending ballads, funky originals and deft swing and she
has been joined by guests ranging from Beth Rowley and Gwyneth
Herbert to Roachford, Jamie Cullum and Omar.
(Doors 6pm / £25.00 - £40.00)
ERIC ALEXANDER &
VINCENT HERRING QUINTET FEAT
HAROLD MABERN “IN THE SPIRIT
OF COLTRANE & CANNONBALL”
Vincent Herring (alt sax), Eric Alexander (ten sax), Harold Mabern (pno),
Milan Nikolic (bs), Joris Dudli (drs).
Top class straight-ahead jazz as two of the most powerful mainstream
saxophonists around, Eric Alexander and Vincent Herring, bring the spirit of the
saxophone battle to Ronnies. There is a long tradition of such battles in jazz with
the likes of Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray or Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane
performing together in a gentleman's contest for who is the better player. This
show is inspired by the 1959 album “Cannonball Adderley Quintet” in Chicago
where altoist Adderley goes head-to-head with Coltrane. Expect top class hard
bop and burning soul jazz in the great tradition all propelled by a fine band
featuring legendary pianist Mabern who played with the likes of Lee Morgan,
Freddie Hubbard and Hank Mobley.
SUN 13TH LUNCH:
(Doors 12 noon - 4pm / £16.00 - £20.00)
JIVE ACES
Jump, Jive and Wail’ from top ‘yellow-suited’ swing combo originally from
Romford, Essex who captured the public’s attention this year in the semifinals of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ with their spirited version of ‘Bare Necessities’
from the Disney film ‘The Jungle Book’.

SUN 20TH:
WED 16TH - SAT 19TH:
(Doors 6.00pm (Fri-Sat 10.30pm) / £30.00 - £55.00)
DEODATO
Eumir Deodato (keys), Graeme Flowers (tpt), Nichol Thomson (tb),
Ben Castle (sax/flute) Andy Ross (sax, flute); Al Cherry (gtr), Andrew
McKinney (bs), Pat Illingworth (drs), Pete Eckford (perc).
Brazilian-born keyboardist, arranger and producer Eumir Deodato has
racked up 16 platinum records and his discography, including compilations
and all his work as arranger, producer and keyboardist, surpasses over 450
albums. But despite such a successful career the man known as simply
‘Deodato’ will always be best known for his brilliant adaptation of “Also
Sprach Zarathustra (Theme From 2001: A Space Odyssey)”. Taken from his
classic 1972 CTI recording Prelude the unlikely hit sold over a million copies
and made Deodato one of the stars of seventies music! Until recording
Prelude for CTI, Deodato had been better known as an arranger for the likes
of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Astrud Gilberto, Wes Montgomery and Frank
Sinatra and for his own series of classic Bossa Nova albums recorded back
home in Brazil. But when CTI head Creed Taylor gave Deodato the chance
to record his own album for the label the result was a series of jazz inflected
covers of classical music which spawned a massive world-wide club hit with
his Latin tinged take on Strauss’s classic theme!
PAGE 08
(Doors 6.30pm / £20.00 - £30.00)
JAMES LANGTON’S
SOLID SENDERS
James Langton is an internationally renowned re-creator of the Big
Band Swing sound. His bands, their concerts and the recordings he
produces cover works from the jazz and dance bands of the early
1930s to the classic Capitol recordings of the 1950s. His various
orchestras have played arrangements recreated from the original
scores and also from James’ own transcriptions from recordings.
Expect material from the likes of Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Count
Basie and Duke Ellington performed by an ace band featuring awardwinning clarinetist Mark Crooks and superb vocal stylist Louise
Cookman. As was the case with Langton’s last visit, the lower floor area
of the club will be cleared to make space for swing dancing!
SUN 20TH LUNCH:
(Doors 12 noon - 4pm / £15.00 - £18.00)
ALEXANDER STEWART
Young full-toned vocalist who has absorbed the best qualities of popular male
singers from Sinatra to Buble and has been developing his own sound and
approach to jazz standards and originals. He appears here with his eight-piece
band directed by pianist and composer Alex Webb.

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.
MON 21ST - WED 23RD:
(Doors 6pm / £25.00 - £40.00)
MANU KATCHÉ
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.
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.

THE
RONNIE SCOTT’S
BLUES EXPLOSION
Co-led by pianist/vocalist Paddy Milner and explosive funk, blues and
jazz guitarist Tony Remy (Incognito, Annie Lennox and Craig David), the
electrifying Blues Explosion specialises in blues music from Chicago to
the Delta, West Coast and British. Expect blues classics from Eric
Clapton, BB King, Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Albert King,
Peter Green, Howlin' Wolf, Robert Cray amongst others.
MON 28TH - WED 30TH:
(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, Ronnies 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.
SUN 27TH LUNCH:
(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 Jazz 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.
(Doors 12 noon - 4pm / £15.00 - £18.00)
BLUE HARLEM
Led by tenor saxophonist Al Nichols and featuring sultry chanteuse Sophie Shaw
this experienced outfit bring and intelligence and sophistication to the art of
combining jazz and rhythm and blues that was prevalent on America’s westcoast of the late 40s and early 50s.

LONNIE LISTON SMITH
AND THE
COSMIC ECHOES
Lonnie Liston Smith (voc/keys), Tabitha Pearson (voc)
Samir Moulay (gtr), Scott Ambush (bs), Lee Pearson (drs).
Legendary jazz and soul keyboardist who came to prominence in the
late 60s as a sideman for the likes of Miles Davis, Roland Kirk and most
famously Pharoah Sanders. He started the Cosmic Echoes in the early
70s developing a unique form of fusion drawing on soul and spiritual
jazz and scored a massive hit with the deeply vibey dance floor classic
Expansions. Like Roy Ayers with whom his career runs in parallel he is
a hero of the Acid-Jazz scene and has moved between soul and jazz
recordings but always touched by his own unique sound.

Which artist(s) would you most like to see performing at Ronnie
Jamaican born, Turner is one of the UK’s finest soul singers. A regular
with the Jools Holland Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, she is one of Britain’s
most loved performers. Turner’s first break came with blues legend Alexis
Korner before scoring huge hits with I would Rather Go Blind and It’s
Gonna Be Alright (one of the few British songs to top the American R&B
Charts) in the ‘80s. She can breathe life and meaning into a song whether
it is a passionate soaring ballad or a soulful up-tempo groove, and her
Ronnie Scott’s shows are amongst the clubs hottest tickets.

FRI 8TH - SAT 9TH:
DIZZY GILLESPIE™
AFRO CUBAN EXPERIENCE
FEATURING MACHITO JNR
MON 11TH:
John Lee (bs), Freddie Hendrix (tpt/flt/hrn), Sharel Cassity (sax/flt),
Yotam (gtr), Robby Ameen (drs) Machito Jr. (perc).
Breath taking tribute to the Afro-Cuban innovations of the late great be-bop
pioneer and trumpet legend, Dizzy Gillespie. Gillespie was first introduced
to the legendary Cuban percussionist Chano Pozo in 1947 by band leader
Mario Bauza. They became life-long friends and together they mixed the
rhythms of Cuba with the sounds of bop creating the music we now call
Afro-Cuban jazz, which became an instant hit, attracting people to dance
to its unique rhythms. Gillespie's most enduring Afro-Cuban compositions
were massive hits and have become world wide standards “Manteca” and
“Tin Tin Deo”.
At the same time percussionist Machito’s Afro Cubans (formed in 1940),
the creators of Cu-Bop, were a major influence on musicians like Dizzy
Gillespie and they famously recorded together in the late 50s. Dizzy loved it
so much, that in 1975, he invited Machito’s son, Mario Grillo or Machito Jr.,
to join Dizzy’s band for the recording of ‘Afro-Cuban Jazz Moods’. So it only
makes sense to have him join the Dizzy Gillespie™ Afro Cuban Experience
under the direction of John Lee, Dizzy’s long-time bassist, and the director
of the Dizzy Gillespie™ Big Band.

saxophonist Mark Lockheart will lead a set paying tribute to Gil Evans,
exploring the experimental sounds of the 70s and 80s. You’ll hear an
exploration of his legendary electric repertoire, including tracks from the
Svengali and Plays Jimi Hendrix albums.

ARTURO SANDOVAL
A blistering pyrotechnic virtuoso trumpeter, Cuban legend Sandoval is a protégé
of the legendary jazz master Dizzy Gillespie, Sandoval was born in Artemisa, a
small town in the outskirts of Havana, Cuba, on November 6, 1949, just two years
after Gillespie became the first musician to bring Latin influences into American
Jazz. Sandoval began studying classical trumpet at the age of twelve, but it didn’t
take him long to catch the excitement of the jazz world. He has since evolved into
one of the world’s most acknowledged guardians of jazz trumpet and flugel horn,
as well as a renowned classical artist, pianist and composer.
He is one of the most dynamic and vivacious live performers of our time Sandoval has been awarded 6 Grammy Awards, and nominated 17 times; he has
also received 6 Billboard Awards and one Emmy Award, the latter for his
composing work on the entire underscore of the HBO movie based on his life, “For
Love or Country” starring Andy Garcia. His last album “Time for Love” had three
Grammy nominations and won two for best album and best production. His latest
two new albums are “Dear Diz, Every Day I Think of You” and “Tangos”. He is also
working on a new book chronicling his relationship with Dizzy Gillespie. Sandoval
was also a founding member of the Grammy Award-winning group Irakere,
whose explosive mixture of jazz, classical, rock and traditional Cuban music
caused a sensation throughout the entertainment world.
