House Musicians
Many of the visiting musicians appearing at Ronnie's were soloists touring without their own rhythm section, or were touring as members of larger bands and they often used the house band to accompany them. On occasions, the house musicians coincided with the members of the various bands that Ronnie Scott led at one time or another. The dates of a particular house musician sometimes overlap with that of others because of the very nature of a musician's working schedule. Many of them were already, or would soon become, leading figures on the British jazz scene.
Since 2006 The Ronnie Scott's Allstars are some of the greatest talents on the U.K scene, including regular performers James Pearson and Sam Burgess.
