at The Ronnie Scott Club
Presenting each week some of the international jazz stars recorded at Europe's Top Jazz Club.

Tonight Ronnie Scott introduces The Albert Nicholas Quartet, Albert King and his Blues Band, The Miles Davis Quintet, Sarah Vaughan and her Trio

If jazz had a formal baptism it was in New Orleans, and it was there that Albert Nicholas, a contemporary of Louis Armstrong, first played clarinet alongside people like King Oliver, Kid Ory and Buddy Petit. Its origins go back deeper, and Albert King is a self-taught blues guitarist who plays the blues as they were meant to be played. Jazz matured and became sophisticated with singers like Sarah Vaughan, and it became intellectual and even introverted with Miles Davis.
(All artists appear by arrangement with Harold Davison Ltd)
