RONNIE SCOTT 4 CD BOXSET + BOOKLET ~ BOPPIN' WITH SCOTT

Ronnie Scott will long be remembered as the co-owner of the club that carries his name, a jazz venue that became renowned throughout the world for the excellence of its setting and the artists on display. Scott was a club proprietor extraordinaire, distinguished for his entrepreneurial courage and artistic vision. He also was a stand-up comedian who could rival anyone on his best nights, of which there were plenty. Ronnie’s prominence as a club owner tended to obscure the fact that he was a world-class tenor saxophonist, whose tone and affinity for the blues recall that other superb white tenorist Zoot Sims, although Ronnie’s phrasing and attack were closer to Sonny Rollins, one of Scott's idols with whom he played on many occasions. Ronnie Scott was also a tireless promoter of fine British musicians, utterly committed to jazz all his life.
