GIGS AT A GLANCE
JULY
SUN 1ST:
Ronnie Scott’s bigger than the
Olympics........
And so finally the centre piece of 2012 heaves into view and casts
its ringed shadow over the city. The Olympics have been the focus of
so much attention for the past six years it’s difficult to think of life
without them, a bit like pregnancy, or Afghanistan. I have mixed
feelings about it, not keen on the dictatorial nature and elitism of the
organisation but don’t mind a bit of sport. At the club we assumed
there would be a ‘great boon for British business’ so like the rest of
the town we looked forward to liberating a few grand from the Coca
Colas of this world, but to date we have had no ‘Olympic’ business
at all. Indeed the only slice we were to enjoy, a party with Seb and
the Prime Minister et al, was cancelled as there was a ‘brand
conflict’. Yep that’s right, Ronnie Scott’s is officially too big a brand
for the Olympics to handle. Paranoid?
Anyway we expect to be busy by default so we are staging a series
of classic jazz nights featuring the music of some of the greats
played by the cream of the UK jazz scene, thereby dishing out a lot
of work to UK jazz guys and gals, paid work I might add - take note
LOCOG - and at the same time catering for what may end up being
a heavily tourist crowd. We also expect to be very busy for the Late
Late Shows, which might be interesting as that’s the only time of day
we are allowed to get beer deliveries. (Got to keep the artery free
between the Dorchester and the shoe shops).
And before and after? Well as ever its musically brilliant, in July
Average White Band have sold out already but you can still enjoy
legends Pharaoh Sanders, Jimmy Cobb, Take 6, and Stanley Clarke
with the Police’s Stewart Copeland as well as a very special evening
with Al Jarreau. And after the sports? Roy Ayers, Booker T, Pee Wee
Ellis and Seth MacFarlane all drop in so although it may seem as
though it won’t, life will go on post ‘London 2012’, rather pleasantly
here at the club.
Footnote. We are saddened by the premature death of trumpeter and
friend of the club Abram Wilson. It’s a plain tragedy..

RONNIE SCOTT’S
JAZZ ORCHESTRA
Celebrate the Music of
Quincy Jones
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. Tonight’s show, features the world famous arrangements
of the iconic Quincy Jones famed for his film music and scintillating
big band arrangements.
Brilliant mainstream pianist and arranger Pearson, the charismatic
leader of Ronnie Scott’s excellent house band pays tribute to one of the
quirkiest pianists in jazz history, Erroll Garner, whose magic touch was
laced with a fantastic swing and a great sense of humour. Expect
classics such as ‘Misty’, The Way You Look Tonight and of course, the
Mambo Blues... plus a few surprises along the way.

PHAROAH
SANDERS
Legendary Grammy award-winning saxophonist
who made his name as a member of John
Coltrane’s mid-60s bands and is noted for his
overblowing, harmonic, and multiphonic
techniques on the saxophone, as well as his
Coltrane-inspired ‘sheets of sound’. A key figure
in the ‘60s avant-garde, Sanders’ post-Coltrane
recordings have explored more spiritual sounds
and his anthemic ‘You’ve Got To Have Freedom’
is a jazz-dance classic. He appears here with an
ace trio featuring his long-time pianist William
Henderson, bass player Oli Hayhurst and
American drummer Gene Calderazzo.

BOUBACAR TRAORE
+ Support: Muntu Valdo
OMAR PUENTE:
CUBAN JAZZ SEXTET
One of World Music’s great stars Boubacar Traoré carries within him all the
beauty of African blues. A diamond among the jewels of Mandingo (West
African) music, his music is a sublime demonstration of Africa’s ancient
blues. Only his voice can blend Niger and Mississippi river alluvia with such
moving authenticity. His unique, inimitable, self-taught guitar technique owes
a great deal to his kora influences, but its shades and phrasing also suggest
the great bluesmen of the deep American South: Blind Willie McTell, Robert
Johnson, Muddy Waters and others. His latest album Mali Denhou Is out now
- he is joined for these rare club dates by percussionist Losseni Kone and
fabulous, harmonica player Vincent Bucher, whose playing is influenced by
Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson.
Superlative Cuban jazz violinist who has worked with the likes of
Courtney Pine and Denys Baptiste. He appears here with pianist
Al MacSween, bassist Darren Taylor, drummer Michel Castellan
percussionist Oscar Martinez and trombonist Rene Alverez.
Guitarist, harmonica player and singer Muntu Valdo opens the show. His
music is rooted in the blues, mixing African traditions with striking modernity
and technical mastery. Juxtaposing his raw, passionate voice and intensely
emotive melodies with an ingenious use of loops, samples and effects.

Uri Caine (pno),

Gifted, hugely inventive jazz and

for his innovative use of electronics and

AWB are widely regarded as one of the best soul and funk bands in the
history of music. Though perhaps best known for their timeless instrumental
mega-hit 'Pick Up the Pieces' the band's strength actually lay in their
consistently accomplished song-writing, stretching across several gold selling
albums and multi- grammy nominations for the legendary Atlantic Records.
Somewhat incongruously, given their Scottish roots, the six piece took the
influences of their R&B heroes - people like Marvin Gaye, James Brown,
Donny Hathaway and others - and developed their own 'authentic' sound
which was eagerly adopted by black audiences in the US and elsewhere.

with Quincy Jones and their 2008 jazz smash hit ‘The Standard’

ROY AYERS
An extremely welcome return to Ronnie Scott’s for vibist, vocalist and
legendary bandleader Ayers, once one of the most visible jazz vibraphonists
of the 1960s, then a funky jazz and R&B bandleader extraordinaire in
the 1970s and ‘80s, Roy Ayers’ reputation is now that of one of the
prophets of acid jazz, a man decades ahead of his time.
Perhaps acid jazz would have emerged even if Roy Ayers had never
existed, but it certainly would have sounded different. Scores of DJs,
hip-hoppers, acid jazzers, and others have incorporated samples of
music created by Ayers into their own work, making his sound an
integral part of these emerging musical forms. His status as the
godfather of acid jazz, or jazz funk, or whichever label you prefer,
represents a second life in the career of vibraphonist and composer
Ayers, who first rocked American dance floors in the 1970s with such
anthems as “Everybody Loves the Sunshine” and “Freaky Deaky.” Twenty
years later, Ayers is as ubiquitous in the dance clubs as he ever was.

Legendary New York based-guitarist and ex-sideman with Steely Dan,
Donald Fagen, Michael Brecker, Chris Potter, Billy Cobham and many
others, Wayne Krantz is a boldly inventive guitarist who in the words of
the Guardian: “Joins the impact of a heavy rock power-trio to the harmonic
sleight-of-hand and melodic slipperiness of a contemporary jazz band.
Krantz is an unflinching adventurer who dislikes repeating himself or
imitating others.” He appears here with a powerful trio featuring the
brilliant bassist Tim Lefebvre and jazz and rock drummer Nate Wood.

BOOKER T JONES
Booker T Jones (org, gtr, voc), Darian Gray (drs, voc),
Melvin Brannon Jr (bs, voc), Vernon Black (gtr, voc).
Ranked in the 100 greatest songs of all time, the number one, millionselling smash Green Onions celebrates it’s very own jubilee this year - 50
years since the 12-bar blues with a rippling Hammond Organ line was
recorded by Booker T & The MG’s for Stax. Booker T went on to become
one of the architects of the unique Memphis soul sound and over the next
decade, Booker T & the MG’s played on hundreds of recordings by artists
such as Otis Redding, Bill Withers, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave and many
others, alongside many other titles under their own name.
1971’s Melting Pot was the last Booker T & the MGs album, although as
a producer, songwriter, arranger, and instrumentalist, Jones has gone on
to work with a remarkable variety of artists, from Willie Nelson to John
Lee Hooker, from Soul Asylum to the Roots, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and
Eric Clapton. Still a vociferous groover, Jones plays music from two recent
albums, along with MG’s hits and Stax classics.

To mark the 25th Anniversary of Jaco’s passing, bass guitar virtuoso Laurence
Cottle returns to with “Portrait Of Jaco” a big band project that features
stunning recreations of the great bassists ensemble pieces. Cottle, like almost
every electric bassist who plays jazz, has been influenced by the former
Weather Report star’s style that extended the range of Leo Fender’s humble
four string bass guitar to include high pitched harmonics, lead melody playing
and of course intricate sax-like solos. Yet Pastorius’ musical legacy goes way
beyond his groundbreaking chops, and Cottle has created brand new scores
that magnify the smallest musical details that often result in tender harmonic
flourishes or dazzling multi-layered contrapuntal melody lines.
