RONNIE SCOTT'S ALL STARS
2025-10-01 18:30 - 19:50 (Europe/London) | Ronnie Scott’s, 47 Frith Street, Soho London, England, W1D 4HT, United Kingdom
It has been named jazz’s greatest year. There was definitely something in the air in 1959, and it wasn’t just NASA: Castro took over Cuba, Buddy Holly died in a plane crash, Pan Am started regular flights around the world, and NASA sent 7 astronauts into space.
Ronnie Scott’s, of course, was founded in 1959. The idea of opening a jazz club along the lines of the intimate and bustling venues of New York’s 52nd Street was hatched by two ardent jazz fans who happened to be very much part of a burgeoning modern jazz movement of the late fifties: tenor saxophonist Ronnie Scott who had since the late forties, wowed the bebop brigade in a series of bands commencing with the nine-piece which featured his business partner to be and fellow saxophonist Pete King.
Three greats of jazz died – Lester Young, Billie Holiday and Sidney Bechet but born out of so much world turmoil were a spate of jazz masterpieces.
In March, Miles Davis created the definitive jazz album in A Kind of Blue. In May, Charles Mingus released an album called Mingus Ah Um – possibly his definitive album. Also in May, Ornette Coleman’s album The Shape of Jazz To Come became ‘the genesis of avant-garde jazz’, and John Coltrane recorded Giant Steps from May to December.
What Miles did for harmonic shifts, The Dave Brubeck Quartet did for rhythmic innovations with Time Out, challenging the acceptable 4/4 and 3/4 time signatures and even creating the hit Take Five with their 5/4 time signature.
Having spent eight months in the Miles Davis Quintet, Bill Evans released Portrait in Jazz in December with Paul Motian and Scott LaFaro, often regarded as one of the greatest jazz trios.
In the show, you can expect to hear a sample of music from all of these genre-defining jazz classics performed by the unmatched Ronnie Scott’s All Stars.

The words of Mary Kunz of The Buffalo News say a lot about the experience of Dee Daniels’ vocal artistry: “Dee Daniels’ voice brings to mind all the most delirious adjectives: Honeyed. Sweet.

Dr. Scott Belck is Professor of Music and Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM), where he leads the CCM Jazz Orchestra and teaches jazz trumpet. A versatile performer, he’s played lead trumpet with the Cincinnati Pops, Glenn Miller Orchestra, Bootsy Collins’ Funk Unity Band, and numerous symphonies and jazz festivals.
He co-founded several ensembles including Tromba Mundi, Jazz Central Big Band, and the Flying Circus Big Band. Belck is also a published author and the founder of Lip Slur World Headquarters. Gregory Tardy is a saxophonist and clarinetist known for his soulful, expressive style rooted in jazz tradition yet always pushing forward. Originally a classical clarinetist, he shifted to jazz after hearing Coltrane and Monk’s “Monk’s Mood,” eventually immersing himself in the New Orleans scene alongside artists like Nicholas Payton and Brian Blade.
Tardy gained national attention with Elvin Jones’ Jazz Machine and went on to perform and record with jazz luminaries such as Wynton Marsalis, Tom Harrell, Andrew Hill, Betty Carter, and Bill Frisell. His work as a leader includes acclaimed albums for Impulse!, Palmetto, and Steeplechase Records, most recently If Time Could Stand Still on WJ3. Now a professor at the University of Tennessee–Knoxville, Tardy continues to perform internationally and inspire the next generation of jazz musicians.
