By inviting the giants of the day like Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich, Betty Carter, Ella Fitzgerald and NINA SIMONE - among hundreds of others - to this intimate setting, the club earned itself a very special place in jazz history. The simple fact is that the club was the epicentre of activity that moved a largely American form of music across the Atlantic by taking the star performers of the day from the streets of New York to the streets of Soho, leading to the birth of a world class British jazz scene. For over 30 years, Ronnie led an active life as a leading British saxophonist, godfather of jazz, humorist (his droll introductions at the club are the stuff of legend) and entrepreneur, and his position and importance in the life of British jazz cannot be overestimated.... |
