An ardent jazz fan and part of the burgeoning modern jazz movement, he and fellow saxophonist Pete King had dreamt of opening a club modelled on the swinging jazz clubs and buzzing scene of New York's 52nd Street.
The Ronnie Scott's Story is a visual and musical celebration of that club. Combining world-class live jazz from the Ronnie Scott's All Stars Quintet and vocalist Claire Martin OBE, narration and rare archive video footage, it charts the club's rise from a basement bar where local musicians would jam, through its trials and tribulations and landmark performances from now-legendary jazz icons, to becoming the internationally-acclaimed jazz venue it is today.
Co-hosted by saxman Alex Garnet and pianist James Pearson - Ronnie Scott's Musical Director - The Ronnie Scott's All Stars Quintet and special guest vocalist Claire Martin OBE perform music by many of the great acts that have graced the club's stage.
Multi-award winning UK jazz vocalist Claire Martin has been acclaimed as the outstanding voice of her generation.
